Hi everyone,

My name is Alex Fairman. My family just moved to Fayetteville, AR (where my mom is originally from) from San Diego, CA, and I am looking to get into real estate investing. I currently go to college in Massachusetts and do some web development work as well. I have read a majority of the Bigger Pockets books as well as some others and listened to a fair amount of podcast episodes as well. I am hoping to get my first buy and hold rental before mid-August and continue to build my portfolio from there. It would be awesome to connect with other investors and individuals in the area, as well as any investors in general.

Thanks,

Alex

@Alex Fairman market is super hot here. Couple things to check out:

1. There is a local Real Estate Investment Group that meets several times each month. www.REI-NWA.com

2. @Ryan Blackstone is a broker with a great team and works with a lot of investors.

Lots of great stuff happening in the area though. Tons of growth and no signs of slowing down in the long-term.

    Hi Alex. I find it great how many people my age are getting interested in real estate and although I live on the other side of the Atlantic I'd love to connect and be able to help in whatever way I can.

    Congratulations Alex on getting into the real estate game. I'm an agent and investor in Northwest Arkansas (Fayetteville to be specific) and I'd be happy to chat. Have you decided on what kind(s) of property and what parts of town you want to focus on? And feel free to send me a DM if you want to get into details

     Housing is booming here and prices are skyrocketing. Big shortage here.

    near the Arkansas river and several lakes. Hard to go wrong.

    @Michael Ward Thank you. I am looking to get an SFR in Fayetteville, Rogers, or Springdale. I have done the most research on Fayetteville so far but not sure if the other two markets might be better.

    Hey @Alex Fairman!  Welcome to Arkansas!  I lived in NWA for a little over a year a while back before relocating to Russellville a few years ago!  Absolutely loved it up there (except for the traffic...)!  Congrats on starting with the education first.  There is plenty of knowledge on BP so always reach out with questions and concerns!  Good luck!

    Hi Alex, welcome to BP. I work with investors in TX, so if you ever considered investing out-of-state, let's connect!

    Hi Alex, Welcome. NWA is a great place to invest! Let me know if you ever need anything. A group of us will be starting a meetup again very soon as the restrictions have let up.

    @Ryan Faber Thanks for the response. I will probably be attending the meetings in a week or so. Also thank you for the heads up about Ryan's services. I look forward to talking more at one of the meet-ups.
