For many it’s a no-brainer to invest in a college town like Fayetteville. For others it takes a little bit of convincing. Bottom line, however, Fayetteville is a small town (population 73,580) that is home to the ever-growing University of Arkansas (Spring 2011 enrollment of almost 22,000).  There will always be a demand for student housing, homes for faculty and staff, alumni rentals, game-day & event rentals, and all those other demographics that love Fayetteville. Historically real estate investors have paid a premium (compared to the rest of northwest Arkansas) to own property near the University, Dickson Street, the downtown square, and the other fantastic amenities in Fayetteville’s core.

Thanks to deflated property values, great loan products like the FHA Kiddie Condo mortage, and the lowest interested rates since…. well, since before I was born…. now is the absolute best time to buy! So, I’ve put together a list of 10 Great investments in this college town. I picked these for a variety of reasons – the proximity to all the things that make Fayetteville great, low prices per square foot, having 2 units, uniqueness, and more. If these pique your interest contact me and I’ll be happy to give you more information. And, of course, you can search the entire MLS database 24/7 on my website. Just click the big outline of the state of Arkansas to the right over there. Here’s those 10 Great Investments as promised:

Almost all of these would make great student housing or your own private game-day retreat. They’re all walking distance to the UA and downtown or located on the Razorback Transit bus route. The condos and townhouses are very low maintenance – you can virtually lock them up without worry until your next visit. Those with two units are great for obvious reasons – rent one for income and use the other for yourself. Or rent both. I included those with higher price points because they would make great long-term investments – rent them out now while securing the property for future use or resale. There’s a variety of construction from “green” new construction to historic re-purposed projects. Not exactly what you’re looking for? Want more info on how Kiddie Condo loans work? Questions about downtown values? I’m here to help. Just contact me today.

Let me introduce you to the FHA “Kiddie Condo” loan program (this is simply a nickname – the program is not just for kids or condos). In a nutshell, this is an under-used mortgage program that allows you, as a parent, to help your college student qualify for their first home loan. There are several benefits to this program:

• Single-family detached homes, townhouses, and other residential properties may qualify not just condos
• Students can use their parent’s income/assets to help qualify for the loan
• Low down payment (typically 3% rather than 20% like most investment property loans)
• Lower interest rate (FHA rates rather than investment, commercial, or conventional bank rates)
• Your child’s credit rating is positively impacted when the mortgage is paid on time
• Tax deductions for the interest payments (consult your tax advisor for details)
• Extra bedrooms can be rented to friends or other students to help pay the mortgage or bills
• Best of all, no throwing away money on rent for 2-6 years!

For more information, for a lender recommendation, or to start looking for properties contact me today!

• Home affordability is at an all-time high
• Mortgage rates are at rock bottom
• Home prices are back on the rise
• Sellers are motivated
• Financing is readily available
• Homeownership is still at the core of the American Dream!
