Arkansas is an under-the-radar high-cap-rate DSCR market. Northwest Arkansas, Fayetteville, Bentonville, Springdale, has the strongest in-migration and Walmart/Tyson employment anchors. Little Rock and Fort Smith offer entry prices below $200K with rents that still produce 9–10% gross yields. Statutes heavily favor landlords; eviction friction is among the lowest in the country.
