Newbie from Jonesboro, Arkansas

[Alex Bruggemann]

Hi everyone, my name is Alex and I've recently moved to Jonesboro Arkansas. I recently immigrated to the US from Australia after marrying a US citizen who has lived in this area for 2 yrs. My background is in Agriculture, in particularly marketing commodities although real estate is something that I'm very interested in. 

I first became interested in investing about 2.5 yrs ago when I saw enormous potential in the Jonesboro market so I have been watching the area for a while (and in frustration of not being able to do anything). I see a lot of growth here and some good opportunities so I do hope to invest  in rentals. Unfortunately my wife and I are not in a financial position right now to invest which is frustrating but I'm keen to learn as much as i can about the local market and investing in general.
