New investor in Little Rock, AR

[Matt Turner]

My name is Matthew Turner and I have been really interested in getting involved in the real estate market. I have no experience in the real estate market beside owning my own home. I have always lived in the Little Rock area.  I currently work in taxes at a large investment bank in Little Rock. I would love to have a steady income from a few buy and hold properties. The first house I would like to have on the market is the current house I live in. I have done my research in the area and feel like this would be a great opportunity. Does anyone else have experience with putting a house you currently live in and pay a mortgage on up for rent? How did that work out?

My farther has dipped his hands in the real estate market and have learned a lot from him and now I am wanting to get started.

I've been a member of BP for a while now but just now introducing myself.

Thanks!
