Boat/RV garages =/= climate cool. I would 100% do boat/rv garages. My friends family owns some none ac garages. It's roughly 80/20 in terms of rv spaces and smaller units but they make an absolute killing. Last time I spoke to him about it they had a 30 person/ company waiting list. My unit with them that fits my bay boat plus all my hunting gear is 350/ month. They prob have about 200 units total

It does have road frontage. That's my dilemma. Do I hold out and wait for one huge check that's bound to come in the next 5 years and sell the property as is? don't do anything w the property and just let it appreciate for the next 20 years? or let it appreciate and at the same time bring in some cash flow for a decade or two

They are the real deal no shite, and cost next to nothing, go try and buy one and see what the owner says, that's a good sign, unless you offer them a premium they'll tell you to frick off, they make money, with next to no risk.

Banks like to loan money on then too.

Is there any other development going on around the walmart? Are there pads out front? Sometimes it takes years for a walmart are to come around, but once one legit place goes in, watch out , they all come looking, don't worry they'll find you. I'd be proactive though get that alta survey, that'll put you at the front of the line, they don't have to mess with the old man next door that doesn't have anything to show or is playing games about If he wants to sell they'll come right to you . Call there corporate office ask for the re department and say you have a site suggestion, and can you email it

A super one was built in the last five years. The walmart will be going up in less than six months and a new Lourdes hospital will be going up as well. All withing a half mile radius off of exit 4. Carencro is about to explode.

I know all about "leach marketing" I just dont know how far it'll expand. Like I said my prop is about a quarter mile from where Walmart will be going up and it currently zoned for residential. I'm also not a a dumbass and know that can change with a signature

Commercial land that has frontage on that road, how much is it per sf

Turning residential to commercial is something you need to start working on now, that takes forever

There's prob no comps on that road in terms of commercial. My property lies in between the service road from an interstate and a state highway with no commercial props. My prop is directly east of the new walmart ( which will be along the frontage road). So basically there's the interstate, the walmart will be built just east of the interstate and my prop is directly east of the walmart. All that land just east of the Walmart is residential ( which will be behind the walmart)

Two of our family friends sold the prop to walmart and let's just say they received absolute top dollar. No negotiating at all. Walmart came in and offered 7 percent over asking price ( one land owner already had prop for sale and when the other heard walmart was looking they also put prop up)

I just think i won't be as fortunate bc my prop is east of all this.

I'd pull the tax records to see what walmart paid, it's not unusual to have a quarter miles skip from a wal-mart if you have your parcel ready to roll, those corporate guys don't like a lot if hassle especially in a rural town. That being said they all have formulas on where they want to be so good luck!

Owning land is the hardest commercial re to have but it pays off good when it hits, if I had unlimited money all I would do is buy up land, why usually only the big players are in it, shite will drain you big time.

Don't say this, you just have to work them phones , and recruit somebody to come there.

Trill I'll love to see what you pull up. Thank you. I am only going by what the prop owners are saying. They are good pple so I trust their word. For now.


Now this info hasn't even hit the news yet so I don't know if you'll have records on it just yet.

I wouldn't tie my land up with anything residential if you think it could be within the next few years that it may sell.

You may actually discourage buyers as the mess of evicting the mobile homes could be more than what a company may want to deal with.

You could cost yourself a deal or at the very least getting the best deal possible for that land.

Also, once you stick residential units on it you may have a harder time getting it rezoned.

ETA: If you want to put a small investment on the land while you are trying to sell it stick a billboard on it. Another uncle of mine has a few including one digital one and does really well with them.

That close to the interstate you would have no problem renting it out.

I can't do it, I only have datascout for Arkansas and oklahoma, you'll have to go to the courthouse

Recruiting a tenant and doing a build to suite and either collecting the lease or flip it to net lease investor is ideal , but that takes things to another level of sophistication you may not be comfortable with

Build to suite for dollar generals gets you a 20 year lease but the cap rate is usually only around 7% , I like a little more risk, but you get to keep your land

Well one I don't know bc they aren't my client. My clients are just going to buy some more muni bonds. Can't beat triple tax free income.

They really don't need more income, but like any other American they're tired of paying Uncle Sam.

Sounds boring, tell them then to come to northwest Arkansas and we'll get that money working!
