My wife and I are moving to Little Rock, AR this summer. Wife will be attending UAMS for the next ~5yrs and I intend to start my real estate career. Short term goal is to become an agent to better learn the areas, different niches of the industry, etc. Long-term I would like to focus on buy-and-hold investing, with an interest in MFH.
I would like to use the DOD SkillBridge program, where I can train under a small business in an intern capacity to receive OJT while still being compensated by the government. Since this will be a new area to us, I don't quite know the market yet or have a sphere of influence to call upon.
Any recommendations of teams or businesses to associate with would be greatly appreciated!
Congrats on your next steps! My husband is retired Air Force and he used the SkillBridge program to work with an realtor/investor out of CA. He'd recommend the program to anyone. I'll send you a PM with some contact information as I'm sure he'd be happy to chat with you about his experience since it's directly related to real estate. Additionally, we invest in LR and used to live there. I have a couple of realtors that we've worked with that are investor friendly. I don't know if their brokerages are interested in partnering up for skillbridge but I can a least give you some contact options.

I dont know if you are still on BP as I see this was your only post. I can tell you that Little Rock is booming. I am investing there myself and I live 5 hours away. Let me know if I can help.
