I'm curious what investing looks like in Arkansas and if there are any local investment Realtors that can shed light on the situation around here.I live at home so my expenses are quite low while I figure this out, which is good. 

If you have the ability and money. no shelves without some good support. self hanging are only for looks and light weight staging. good luck

(I know, I know, it's not sexy to talk appreciation, but that's where the big gains are when you hold long enough.)All that said, anything that gets you excited about real estate and gets you engaged is a good thing, so if this is the thing that lights your fire, go for it. 

This is the simplest method, but it also means your tenants are more likely to abuse the utilities by leaving windows open with the heat or A/C running, leaving lights on, ignoring the toilet that constantly flushes on its own, etc.3.

It was originally a 6 week timeline to complete remodel 2 bathrooms, kitchen update, and new paint/floor/lighting throughout the condo.

Honestly, I intended to buy this home as a primary residence to live in, but after seeing it is across the street, a light bulb went off.

Taking out debt for 2M is not something I can take lightly. are there any other possible options that I’m overlooking?

I intend to consult a CPA soon, but I was hoping the community could shed light on my question in the mean time.Thanks in advanced!

If you do a deal with rehab involved, try to find one that is very, very light for your first one.
