I have always been interested in house flipping, as it would create the perfect combo between my architecture education and my desire for financial growth.

If you focus on "free and clear" homes, which I have been looking into, I think you got a great market with a lot of growth potential in it.

I have a family member In Boston that makes 56,000 a year and barely squeaks by and doesn't spend much on anything.Now in Georgia you could afford a decent house and live okay on 40,000.In New York I am just not seeing it though.Now if you have a significant other you are pooling expenses with that is different but then you are getting their income as well and not just the 40,000.If you have a significant other and want to live off of 40k and they have no income or savings then I think that would be almost impossible where you live.Now you could increase your cap and potential by investing in other states that have higher cash flows versus money invested.Especially value add deals could give you a bunch of equity and growth.

My reasons for selecting Springdale and Rogers are as follows: Ability to obtain 1% rule, good school districts in general, low crime rate, stable tenant base (Wal-Mart and Tyson), potential for appreciation as Fayetteville has seen substantial growth, and lastly I know a few people who live there and love it.If anybody else is familiar with or in investing in the Springdale or Rogers areas, I would consider partnering and going in on a larger enterprise.

You don't get 14% CoC in an area with a lot of growth and appreciation.

It would be good to talk to someone at each growth stage (maybe in between each new deal) to strategize about possible next steps to take in growing a portfolio. 

That is another reason why real estate investing is the best growth investment, as we know.
