Northwest Arkansas Real Estate Investing

[Mathew Fuller]

Hello,

I am looking to expand long distance to north west Arkansas with a goal to buy 1-2 properties a year. I’m looking to find investors, real estate agents, lenders, and property managers that I can net work with to start finding some deals and making this goal happen.

Thank you.

Hey Matthew! I just moved to NWA recently and submitted an offer on my first duplex last night. If you need any boots on the ground in the future just let me know! 

For agents, I really like @Ryan Blackstone and his team. Ryan's brother, Jarred, is my agent, and he has been extremely helpful. Ryan has been house hacking for 7 seven years and just recently finished up a BRRRR in Fayetteville and Jarred owns multiple buy and hold properties.

This is my first time buying a house so Jarred's experience has been a huge help to me personally. He teaches me a lot at every property we go and see. I'm sure that part of this is because I have a lot to learn, but I really appreciate that he takes the time. For example, at the first house I visited Jarred got on his hands and knees and knocked on the tile to show me what tile that wasn't installed well would sound like. They are focused on the financial projections for the property, and I appreciate that. Every time I'm interested in a property Jarred sends over an Excel file with a detailed property analysis with each property so that I can compare with mine.

I don't have experience closing on a property yet, but I've heard Iberia Bank recommended a fair amount. Specifically Conrad Eberhard and, I believe, Trent Armstrong was the other loan officer recommended at Iberia Bank. I've been working with Conrad, & he has been pretty quick, including on the weekends and evenings.

Also, I see you're a fellow dev. If you're considering moving to NWA there's a possibility you would get $10k. Ryan sent me this link, check it out: $10K Relocation

Lastly, Ryan had recommended looking at the Skyline Report & I've found it helpful to know what numbers to project for vacancy, rent, etc since it includes numbers from the Great Recession.
