Newbie in NWA looking for financing/agent recommendations

[Sam Ventocilla]

Hi all!

I'm going to house hack in the Fayetteville, Bentonville, or Springdale area. I'm mostly trying to decide between Springdale, for the cash flow, or Bentonville by the new Walmart HQ, for the potential appreciation, but I'm open to other areas in Northwest Arkansas. I'm currently living in an AirBnb in Bentonville until I buy a house so I want to get pre-approved soon. Any recommendations for financing & real estate agents are appreciated!

Also, what investor groups are there in the NWA area? I'm going to check out the Real Estate Investors NWA group & would love to meet other real estate investors in the area. Thanks!
