My short term goal is to find a four, tri, or duplex in Joplin, MO or in Northwest Arkansas to live in.

I own 4 SFH rental properties in the $175K to 200K range in AL, AR, KY, and SC and am looking to invest in OK with my next purchase.  

I am in Conway Arkansas and just getting started myself.

The extension would have to be up to current building code (i.e. electrical, smoke det, etc.)...architect can tell you more.  

I live in Rogers, Ar.

While the list is nationwide, the article focuses on parts of Arkansas, specifically Little Rock as we get alerts whenever data like this hits online since we are a Little Rock Turnkey property provider.  

Currently work as a Control Room Operator at a large power plant in Northeast Arkansas.

I don't do any flipping, but the buy and hold numbers are better in Memphis than most other places in this country.First thing to do is to carve out some time for your R/E business, you'll find that between your job, daughter and wife, it may be difficult to carve out time for a R/E business.  

Should you come across said property or find a R/E agent that is sharp with investors please let me know...

Since she is going to the University of Arkansas she lives about 6 hours from where we live so we only get to see her on school breaks.
