Starting out as a Realtor and Investor in NWA

[John Dawson]

Hey everyone,

I've been a struggling Realtor for two years here in the Bentonville area and I've actually had to take up driving for Uber to pay the bills.  I'm curious what investing looks like in Arkansas and if there are any local investment Realtors that can shed light on the situation around here.

I live at home so my expenses are quite low while I figure this out, which is good.  I really don't know what I'm doing either as an agent or an investor so any advice would be appreciated.

I look forward to providing value back as I learn and am glad to be a part of this community!

Hey John. 

My team and I facilitate a local meet up here. Real estate as an agent or investor is hard work, and a lot of him is a mental battle more than anything. Choosing the right action, and being consistent with it. 67% of our business is helping investors, and 6 out of 8 of my agents are investors themselves. 

Every second Wednesday of the month, we have a meetup that meets from 6pm-8pm. There myself and other investors/agents helps answer any questions that any investor might have about the market or real estate. You could come there and I am sure one of us will be able to answer the questions.
