The Investment opportunity

Knight Knox International have managed to source only 10 lots in this very

attractive market, that are now being offered to you, the investor, at $14,000 USD.

Knight Knox International can offer investors 50% seller financing, with a 50% down payment, and the balance paid over 12 months. All closings will be handled using an external title company, and we can also assist you in setting up LLC’s (Limited Liability Companies) for an even easier transfer of the asset. This option is of course entirely at the discretion of you; the buyer.

Each lot is roughly ¼ Acre (1,000 sq.m) which will comfortably allow you to build as large of a home as you would ever require, and still leave you with enough space to “enjoy” your land. You also have the added advantage of being part of a serviced, planned community complete with full infrastructure such as roads, water and power.

As a land owner, you can decide when to build – there is no time restriction, and you are not tied to work with any one builder either. The full infrastructure means that there is minimal outlay required once you do decide to build, as you will not have to spend a significant amount of your budget on paperwork, extending power lines etc. This really is a no hassle, turn key investment.

All plots are located within a block or across one street from Lake Sequoyah, and as a property owner you will have full access to the community lakes – and can use it for boating, kayaking, swimming or fishing. Lake front lots are currently selling for up to $70,000 USD, and lots comparable to ours can be bought for $25,000+ -

Our strength lies in our ability to buy in bulk, and therefore we can pass the savings on to you – the investor.

The community also has golf courses, community centres, swimming pools and a number of local shops and businesses, and as a property owner you are entitled to use all of the above amenities, many of which are exclusively available to property owners and permanent residents of the town.

The real opportunity lies in purchasing one or more lots now, holding on to it for 3-5+ years, and then reselling either before building, or to construct a home and later reselling the property. Knight Knox would be more than happy to put you in touch with local brokers who can help you with the resale once you are ready to do so.

About Cherokee Village

Cherokee Village is located in Arkansas – straddling the border between Sharp County and Fulton County. The area is in the Northern part of the state, and neighbouring Missouri is only a few minutes drive away to the North. The community currently houses mostly families and retirees, with a growing population from all across the United States. The town has a village centre with convenience stores, medical facilities, restaurants and community centres, where residents and tourists have a great opportunity to socialize and get to know each other better. There are also several hotels, bed & breakfasts, and private homes available for rent for tourists visiting the area, and several seasonal businesses such as boat rentals.

Arkansas is best known for its scenic beauty and friendly locals, and is nicknamed “The Natural State”. There are an abundant number of lakes and rivers, and the Ozark Mountains offersresidents fantastic opportunities for hiking andmountain climbing. The social life and low cost of living has also greatly helped attracting tourists,together with the four distinct seasons –

Arkansas truly offers distinguished seasons, without the temperature ever dropping too low in the winter!

Healthcare in the area surrounding Cherokee Village is great with a number of private- as well as public clinics with the most prominent ones being White River Medical Centre and St Bernard Medical centre, and education is also very well provided for both by the Cherokee Village schools and schools in nearby Highlands. Ozarka College has a local branch in the county, and there are also great opportunities for further education at the state university of Arkansas.

Even during the years considered “chaotic” by much of the United States, Arkansas experienced both an increase in employment and new businesses, as well as an influx of new residents. An interesting trend is that these residents are no longer juts coming from the neighbouring states, but from all across the country, which further shows that the state has a lot of potential for future growth."

Arkansas is mostly known for being the home state of former U.S. President Bill Clinton, and also for being the home of the worlds largest corporation – Wal-Mart, as well as Tyson Foods, a food processing company known as one of the leaders in their industry. There are also another two companies headquartered in the state making the Fortune 500 list – Murphy’s Oil and department store Dillard’s."

Growth Factors

Affordability

Part of what has driven buyers to these locations is affordability, another one is the pursuit of the opportunity to own “the home of your dreams”, in a wonderful and welcoming community that has not yet been discovered my the mass markets, and where you still have space for yourself.

Local economic growth

The market in the United States is really not much different. To look for alternatives, small investment firms started to market land in communities in states like Georgia, South Carolina, Arizona and Nevada – and these states also saw their real estate prices shoot up, and in many cases drop off again, as speculators were driving these markets. This is happening in Arkansas in the same way.

Rise in retirement population in the US

In recent decades, it has almost been a “tradition” for people living in the Northern part of the United States to move south as soon as they get close to retirement age. Just like Brits have been moving to Spain, Portugal and France, Americans have been moving to Florida, Arizona and California to enjoy the best years of their lives.

Ten years ago, Florida was more or less the only location anybody would ever consider relocating to – great weather, friendly people, and rock-bottom real estate prices. As more and more people piled in, prices shot up, crime escalated, over-population helped jammed up the traffic all day, and the cost of living sky rocketed.

With this in mind; land values are rising in more affordable, less populated areas like Arkansas.It is a fact that the baby-boomer generation (the largest in American history) are starting to retire over the next 5-10 years, and many of them are already starting to plan what they want to do. It seems that the core values of “The American Dream” are still living on – buy yourself a piece of land in a planned community, build the home of your dreams, and live in harmony with the community which surrounds you.

As this generation is the largest ever in U.S. history, it is obvious that not all of them will be able to afford to, or even want to, move to Florida or a more traditional retirement state. As such, Arkansas presents a fantastic opportunity. With its scenic nature, tranquil lifestyle, and undervalued property, it is set to attract a large number of new residents over the next 5-10 years.

Property demand in the state has been driven primarily by first time buyers, out of state retirees and families, and therefore the state has not been affected very much by the credit crunch, witnessing a rise in property values compared to previous years. This growth is expected to increase significantly over the next few years, and the state also offers some of the best construction margins in the country at 25-30%.

Arkansas and Cherokee Village gives you a fantastic opportunity to acquire land at discounted prices – and by doing so, you can invest in The American Dream, a dream that lives on no matter what happens to the economy in the short term.

There are several economic, environmental and social factors that are contributing to land values and home values rising in Cherokee Village and Arkansas with the main contributors to growth being the following:-

Getting There

There are a number of ways to reach Cherokee Village, both by air and by road. By car, you can reach the area via Interstate 30 (from Texas & the South) and Interstate 40 (from the East and West, primarily Memphis, TN and Oklahoma) There are many local state maintained roads connecting the town to Hardy, Highland,

Batesville and nearby larger towns and cities as well as Missouri. The nearest large cities are Little Rock (1h 30min) and Memphis (1h 45min) although there are many towns with a population of around 50,000 in the local area such as Batesville, Hardy and Branson, MO.

The nearest major airports are at Little Rock, Memphis, Branson, St Louis and Dallas Fort Worth. (Nearest airport with direct flights to London) The area has always attracted a lot of tourists duringthe summer, but has also recently started to attract large crowds as early as during spring break.(February-early March) Most of these tourists are predominantly driving from the nearby states such as Texas and Oklahoma.

They are primarily attracted by the same things as the people who decide to become full-time residents –

they come to enjoy the fantastic lakes and beautiful scenery, as well as enjoying the quaint little towns and

experience the hospitality of the local people. Many of these vacationers would choose to rent a house if the opportunity is given, and therefore Cherokee Village presents a great opportunity to purchase land to later construct a rental property.

All freehold building plots sold through Knight Knox International or their partners are independently and professionally surveyed and when sold, each plot is individually market out to exact size.

The US Land Registry also provides a unique reference number in order to identify your exact plot.

Homes Exit Strategies

There are a huge variety of homes available for you to choose from at Cherokee Village. You can decide on anything from a manufactured home (prices from $40 per square foot) all the way up to a custom made, site built property. !

Our recommendation, while entirely up to you, would be to purchase the land now, and within 3-5 years start to look at building a home.

A “standard” site built home would generally cost around $80 per square foot, making the cost of a 1,200 sq.ft home just less than $100,000. Also – remember that once you own the land, construction finance is usually available up to 80%, sometimes even more!

When investing in land, there are primarily three exit strategies that can be used, and all three of them apply at Cherokee Village:

Knight Knox have assigned local realtors that are willing to work with you and advise on the best way of maximizing returns on your investment, and they can assist you with both rentals, new-builds, and resale of your lot. We can of course also recommend local tradesmen and mortgage brokers – the usual rule of thumb is that if you own the land free & clear, you can borrow up to 80% of the construction cost, sometimes even more!

The first option is to rely on capital appreciation, and simply holding on to the lot before reselling it to the “end user”, who is looking to construct a home on your lot. This strategy would work very well at Cherokee Village as our lots are available to be purchased below “fair” market value, as well as capital appreciation is expected to be significant over the next 5 years.

The second option is to take advantage of the great construction margins in Arkansas. Over the last few years, margins have been consistent at 25-30%, and we would be able to recommend you a number of local building companies who could assist you. Homes are available for anything from $40/sq.ft up to a custom made high-end home for $150-$180/sq.ft. Simply by building a home using the above strategy, you should be able to achieve a 30%+ profit on your investment, and that is before we take into account the appreciation in land prices!

The third option is to use the above construction margin to build a home that can be used for both summer (short term) rentals, and long-term (year round) rentals. A manufactured home of 1,200 sq.ft will cost roughly $60,000 to build, and is expected to rent for somewhere around $500 per month – giving you a gross yield of 10%.

How do you buy a plot?

Once you have discussed and chosen a plot, seen or unseen, you can make a reservation payment and the plot is taken off of the market and then, as legal title is passed to you, you pay the balance which can be spread into short term payment plans, and then complete. You then own the land in full and can chose to build now or in the future, or sell on as prices rise to make a profit.

*Example:

Land plot 1000m2 at $14,000

Reservation amount due $3000

Deposit of $4000 required after 30 days

Monthly Payment of $584 for 12 months using seller financing of 50%

The only other costs are title company fees of $500 max

= Total cost of $14,508

Is this purchase safe and easy?

The purchase process in the United States is very straightforward, and one of the most transparent in the world. All closings are carried out by a title company, which ensures that you receive your deeds free and clear, without mortgages, back taxes, liens and encumbrances on the property.

One of the most popular ways of purchasing property in the United States is by purchasing land through an LLC. (Limited Liability Company) Investors at Cherokee Village are able to buy their lots through freshly formed companies, where you can nominate the directors/owners yourself, and we are more than happy to assist with registered office addresses and other legal requirements.

Using an LLC to invest in property is generally regarded as the best way to purchase, and is also the recommended ownership structure at Cherokee Village.
