My prediction is that the increase in AI jobs will bring prices soaring again, including rents.

Why the obsession with cap rates, unless you can predict the future (and so many wiser and more experienced investors than ourselves have tried and failed so many times over...)Personally, I vowed I'd do my darn best to try and not to fall into the same trap those walking a foot in front of me have just crashed into (as an individual or institutional investor, at least - and would like to hope entire countries would be able to follow the same reasoning process) - I ignore cap rates altogether, to be honest.

I quickly found work as an English language teacher, preparing students for high-stakes language examinations.That rather predictably did not work out well, and so I ended up moving to Athens, Greece, and living there for three years with my folks, who left the USA as soon as I finished college.

Many will fit the latter category and ought to be open to trading obligations and responsibilities for predictable cash flow and peace of mind. 

While I am only making a prediction right now, I believe Springs is heading towards a sellers market as well which will make it a bad time to buy a typical investment property unless you're doing some creative methods to find new deals.

What is the price appreciation trend and rental price trend historically and future predictions for this area? 

If that is true, I predict a lot of landlords selling and cashing out in Little Rock.

Predictability, accountability, excellent communication, and a partnership attitude (rather than treating every job like a one-time transaction)....maybe not always the cheapest.

An example is a pair of shoes that sells for 50% cheaper in a discount store.HOWEVER, an INVESTMENT bargain in Real Estate is more to do with it's future price because unlike the shoes which is worthless after a while, Real Estate will either keep it's value or increase in value.I'm buying for an INVESTMENT bargain.I try to buy low income, low value, low cash flow to achieve high income, high value and high cash flow.It's worked for me for the last 20 years and every year I have heard that it's a big mistake to think you can predict future appreciation.I guess I have been luck 7 times (I bought 7 multi-family buildings) in a row for the last 20 years.

This yields very predictable and equity results.
