Pine Bluff's population has declined by 50% over the last few decades, presumably the reason they were so cheap is that there's a huge supply surplus? And given the murder rate is 10x the national average I don't see demand for property increasing. In short, run for the hills!

That place needs to rename into Pine Hoax

130k at tax auction for double digit # of properties, what's the annual property tax for all that?

About $8k per year. Most were bought for just back taxes, so I basically paid 5 years taxes on them. A couple of them were bid up, so the taxes are less than 1/5 what I paid.

Ah I see that is pretty cool then. Wish you the best in your ventures there.

You bought the other ones because they're cheap... but what is the actual gain you expect to get from those properties? $130K is still money, is there a plan to recoup that investment or was this a FOMO purchase?
