Sometimes you’ll see an article online that says your town is the best at something or has hit a top ten list, and that’s great, but a lot of those websites put together statistics in a certain way so that they can include one city in this version and another city in another version… just because they know that local residents will share the story and their ads will get seen more.
Well this time it’s still a website that relies on advertising, but it’s Forbes Magazine. Forbes, the business magazine that has been around for about 100 years. And they published an article today that features two areas in Arkansas – Benton County and Saline County – as places that are “The Best Markets For Real Estate Investment In The Heartland.”
And they’re right. We’re growing here and adding new businesses all the time. We’ve got new car dealerships, new malls and a tech company coming and you know all about the restaurants and banks that are rolling in. We could use a nice venue for bowling, but that’s another article for later.
This Forbes article basically says the time is now to buy investment real estate and that they believe the prices are going up by 16% in the next three years. Here’s the link to read the whole article. http://www.forbes.com/sites/ingowinzer/2016/10/11/investment-income-the-best-markets-for-real-estate-investment-in-the-heartland/print/
