Fort Smith, Arkansas Newbie

[Justin Johnson]

Hello, everyone,

Just wanted to take a second to introduce myself and try to learn my way around the site.  My name is Justin, but I go by JJ (or JayJay).  Currently living in the Fort Smith, Arkansas area and looking to make my first purchase within the next 6 months!  I am excited and driven...and scared as heck, but that's half the fun, right?  I am looking for either a duplex or triplex for a house hack, or a nice fixer-upper to flip.  Currently reading through " How to Invest in Real Estate" for the second time and writing down every question that comes to my mind and taking notes of many other things.

I am looking forward to making this journey alongside all of you.

The last one is a post that will help you choose an “investor friendly” real estate agent.

There are many agents out there, but it’s important to choose the right one.
