I have lived in Arkansas my whole life, lived in all parts of the state, and have been in real estate for the last 8 years here. 

I'd guess the real number is closer to $30k, since we bought it slightly under market and did some minor work like changed all the appliances. 

When I check local real estate listing it’s evident that a number of these properties for sales are former airbnbs that were purchased in the last 2 years and clearly are not worth holding onto for the owners.

Rates tend to be 25 to 50 basis points above commercial (5+ unit) apartment building loans, and 50-100 basis points above residential (1-4 unit) loans.

With real estate being alot cheaper in other states, would love to hear how they would do there house hacks. 

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?
