Pine Bluff Arkansas | How bad?
Quick question for the Arkansas folks. I've stumbled upon a fantastic deal in Pine Bluff, AR. At least it would be a fantastic deal if it was in any other city. My biggest hangup is the city itself. Really high crime, significant population decrease over the last 20 years, and high poverty. I read that they have some improvements going around the downtown area, but still pretty nervous about this location. Any insider info that I should know?

Lol I'm in Pine Bluff, Arkansas. If you just sit back and really look at all the pieces that are coming together, you'll realize that this is the most optimistic time to be investing in Pine Bluff. We're on the brink of what some would call an emerging market. A renaissance others call it, but nevertheless a great time for wealth creation. There's still meat on the bones here, you just have to analyze deals correctly and know the area. Plus, its just the right size for a "boom"!!!
