New Member from Bentonville Arkansas

Hi Guys! 

My name is Amy Mou and I have been living in Raleigh, NC for 7 years. Recently move to Bentonville Arkansas for family's job relocation. I am bilingual in Mandarin and English. I am a recent graduate from North Carolina State University double majoring in Applied Mathematics and Statistics. I am currently looking for Real Estate Analyst positions. Also just got my real estate license in North Carolina in June! My goals are to learn about flipping houses and how to finance my investment. I have been on BiggerPockets since July but never registered an account myself. (Always use my husband's). Listening to BiggerPockets' podcast and reading Brandon Turner's book was one of my favorite thing right now. Thanks everyone for being so welcoming and have a great day!

    Welcome to BP. 

    I'm part of an investment company out of Central Arkansas. We have a local investor meetup that meets in Little Rock monthly. I know you mentioned you are out of NW AR but if you're ever interested, drop by! 

    Once you get your license hung with a Broker let me know and I'll shoot you out buying criteria. 

    Cheers and best of luck. Hope to cross paths someday in the future.

    If you were in Raleigh, I'd recommend the FlipIt class at Wake Tech. Course 146056 starting 09/29/2015... Tuesday evenings. Probably too far to commute.

    Hi @Chris Martin Thanks for your recommendation! There are so many wonderful classes in Raleigh, North Carolina. We just moved from Raleigh to Bentonville, Arkansas. I defiantly see how those classes are valuable! Now I would just need to find more courses down here in North West Arkansas...

    What Matt said! :)

    Future meetings might change since it currently clashes with the landlord association meetings. Check http://www.carreia.com for any changes. 

    Cheers!

    Hi @Mark Nolan, thank you Mark! I have already started to learn the wonderful things each and everyone is doing. Cool.

    Hi @Kathie Riedel, I agree! You live in the Spas town which we haven't gotten a chance to visit. Sounds wonderful. Thanks!

    That might be an interesting meetup to put together sometime.. A networking event with a meet and greet, Arkansas Game, and maybe a post dinner. I will add that to my someday/maybe list but think it would be a fun networking occasion.
