About Dave Adams
I purchased my first investment house in 2004. I sold off the lower income producing houses I had purchased because of the difficulty collecting lower rent rates from my tenants. My investment focus has changed to buying investment properties with a higher rent payment. This allows me to focused on rents from $750-$1200. I welcome the opportunity to help you to achieve your own investments here in Fort Smith or the surrounding area. My current rental portfolio is at 22 rental properties.
Fort Smith is growing! Our area is booming with a solid growth plan. Chafee Crossing is giving away free land to corporations who employ 400 employees with an hourly wage range from $18-$22 per hour.
We also have a Army Corps of Engineers working on a new port for the United States right here in Fort Smith. This will be the largest port ever constructed in the United States at 5000 acres. To put that into perspective, the Los Angeles/Long Beach port has a 2000 acre port and they are landlocked from future growth.
We also have an infrastructure to keep these businesses coming to the Fort Smith area. We have I-49 and I-40 Interstate system to help make freight movement easier. In addition, this area has a large railroad yard coming to Chaffee Crossing. This facility will allow for unloading of all freight coming in from overseas routed for distribution nationwide. The Walmart organization was a driving force for this development.
This combined commercial activity will surely help drive property values higher! Appreciation is going to be a great factor for this area and for owning investment real estate. The average price for Sebastian county has gone up by 5% over the last year and this is a great sign for our local housing economy and it’s future growth.
