Newish investor from Arkansas

[Kevin C.]

Hello everyone, from Arkansas. We are a small family who are still a bit new to property investing. We purchased our first home in 2010 and rented it out a couple of years later due to a job change. Since then, we have been extremely interested in buy and hold investing. After all, there isn't much better than someone else paying your mortgage :). We purchased our second home in 2015 as a primary residence. Fixed it up and moved, again, due to work. It is also rented out. My wife has been a stay at home mom for the past 6 years and is now heading back into the job market. We've decided to keep living on my income and to start using her income to invest in properties as aggressively as possible. This should give us about $20k/year to work with in the beginning and up to $40k/year in the next 2 years. 

We live in a pretty hot real estate market and deals are impossible to find on the MLS. I'm here to learn from you more experienced guys how to find good deals at times when most for sale properties are way overvalued.

I'm looking forward to learning all sorts of new things here!
