I am moving to the region and will be working and investing there so I'd also love to hear from any wholesalers and find out more about housing trends in the region. 

@Victoria Valentino I recently moved to the area and am interested in this as well.

@Haseeb M. I’d also love to hear opinions from those with more experience. I’m currently starting to perform some due diligence on a small hotel with a bar and restaurant in a tourist town in Northwest Arkansas and would love to hear some thoughts from some asset based (hard money or private) lenders with hospitality experience.

I am currently spending time in NWA looking at potential fix and flip investment properties. I would appreciate any insight on any areas I should avoid or any potential up and coming areas. I’d also love to see any wholesale properties that anyone might have available. I prefer historic homes and higher end neighborhoods.

@Ryan Blackstone @Dustin Davis Thank you both. I’m hoping to make the meetup this month, but I won’t know for sure until this weekend. We are looking to move up there very soon.

Is this still an active meeting? 

@Anna Villalobos Congratulations! What a great accomplishment. The first property my wife and I decided to purchase and rehab was a 1904 SFH in a historic district. As I'm sure you are well aware, the learning curve can be extremely steep so I definitely appreciate what you were able to accomplish.

@Vincent Chen The best niche in real estate is based on your level of risk tolerance, access to funding, and personal investment style. There are so many different factors that it I couldn’t even begin to guess what might work well for you.

@Vincent Chen It depends on what you are looking for. If you're looking for lower end properties with cosmetic updates, San Antonio is probably the only place you will find those. There are some neighborhoods in San Antonio where you will find ARV's above $400k, but they are more of the exception and not the rule. While in Austin, that is closer to the median price of home sales. I personally prefer run down homes in the older well established and typically more expensive neighborhoods.

@Mario Essig There are several good meet ups held throughout the area. Go to as many as you can until you find what you are looking for.
