I have lived in Arkansas my whole life, lived in all parts of the state, and have been in real estate for the last 8 years here. 

Going on the first face to face with a seller in years, even after getting 2 deals to the table, this one was tough.Stating the obvious, there is no replacing "the number" but I literally didn't have it in me to say it at that moment.

I have two long-term tenants in the duplex—one for 5 years and the other for 7.

Hi @Daniel Carrillo,Just based on conversation had at various conferences I've attended I think we will see some increased activity later this year.

Developers who position themselves now can capitalize on the early-stage land appreciation and control supply for the coming years.Johnstown: A Data-Driven Market AnalysisLand Price & Availability:Johnstown land prices: Average below $100,000 per acre.Availability: 15 to 50-acre plots are common, unlike New Albany’s scarcity.Target purchase: Institutional-scale developers seek $1M-$5M land acquisitions for subdivision planning.Comparable markets: Similar suburban expansions have seen 3-5x land value growth post-infrastructure improvements.New Construction Market:Average new build price: $458,000 (Johnstown 2024).Lot acquisition targets: 10-15% of home sale price.New construction inventory: 13 homes sold in the past year, signaling early-stage demand.Infrastructure Considerations:Water & Sewer Expansion: A critical factor in large-scale horizontal development.Utility availability: Developers must conduct due diligence on rezoning and service expansion.The Johnstown Horizontal Development FundThe best approach to maximizing land gains in Columbus is to structure a horizontal equity development fund, focused on acquiring and entitling land for large-scale residential development.Fund Strategy:Land Aggregation: Acquiring 15-50 acre tracts in Johnstown for future subdivision.Infrastructure Planning: Working with municipalities for water and sewer expansion.Entitlement & Rezoning: Increasing land value pre-development.Sell to Builders: Deliver finished lots to national and regional homebuilders.This strategy mirrors successful suburban expansion models seen in cities like Phoenix, Austin, and Raleigh, where early land investors have generated 5x-10x returns.Why Now?

Understand the fees involved and calculate the total cost for an entire year of management so you can compare the different managers.

I haven't bought there in over 3 years due to the city.

I signed up last year and I'm just now started to take my investment plan seriously. 

We love Duluth and the north shore and hope to "retire" there in the next handful of years.       

Hi, I would love to hear what everyone's favorite project management software has been in the last year?
