Hi Johnny and Diane. I think you have to be careful buying in any area, including Little Rock. The key is to buy at a good discount going in amd having a good exit strategy. My first purchase in Little Rock yielded me a 32% COC return. I will be closing my next deal in a couple of weeks and project between a 20-30% COC. The beauty of this second purchase is that is is located in a better neighborhood where the residents are longterm tenants/homeowners. What's better, neither of these properties have been over 20K and are not in high crime or rundown areas.

I'm loving what Little Rock offers in the way of RE.
