Of course this was in Arkansas so Florida may be a bit different but it can be done and you have to act fast... it really helped us to get the seller to sign off on us being able to contact the bank directly early on.

I've found this report to be a great numbers-based analysis of the Northwest Arkansas real estate market.Here's a link to the article: https://share.arvest.com/newsr...My big takeaway is that there's a lot of room to raise rents.

I'm currently in Northwest Arkansas, Centerton specifically and for those of you that aren't familiar, it's an amalgam of several towns/cities in the extreme Northwest of Arkansas and home to Walmart, Tyson Foods, and J.B.

I've been introduced to real estate in April of 2018 and since then I've been reading books, listening to podcasts, researching in BiggerPockets, and meeting with investors.I've purchase my first turnkey property in Little Rock, Arkansas in June and I'm looking to start doing BRRRRs (in Kansas City) to scale and gain more experience.

we have rentals all over south Arkansas. 

This is just one example of many:https://www.zillow.com/homes/225-Amber-Ridge-Dr-Ar...Zillow rent estimate is 1700+.. i then looked at rents for same zipcode and they are consistently the same when comparing with sqft, rooms, etc.Am I missing something?

I know the tax advantages of real estate vs stocks.I have found a lot of properties in Jonesboro, Arkansas (where I live at the moment).

I'd like to think my ex-friend was projecting, but it was still emotionally devastating so I am posting publicly here as a huge act of faith.)We invest out of state (Arkansas).
