Ignorant but Eager to learn

[Pat Alford]

I live in Central Arkansas (NE of Little Rock) and my wife and I are planning to start investing in rental property soon. We had two rental properties, years ago, but have been out of the loop for 10 years. I am an insurance adjuster, and travel about 3-4 months a year, but am off work and at home the remainder of the time. I have money for down payments and for upfront cost. I am considering getting my real estate license in the next month (I’m currently in Florida finishing up for Hurricane Irma Claims). I am looking at rental property as a path to retirement, and don’t need the income now, but could definitely use the tax deductions. I would like to know what experience other forum members have in Arkansas. Like the title says, I am more ignorant than I’d like to be, but I am eager to learn and willing to listen. Thanks for any info.
