Welcome, Karen & Family - can't wait to meet you.  Little Rock is a great place to live and invest. 

Hi, Adam: Welcome to the forum. We're based in Little Rock. Let's connect, Judy

Welcome, Charles: I'm your neighbor slightly to your north in Little Rock. We've been working this business for a year, learning and working. Finished two projects so far, one rehab - currently listed and one subject-to - closing in two weeks. 2017 was our year to learn, 2018 will be filled with projects. We have a strong REIA group in Little Rock, ARREIA and CARREIA.

Hi, Austin: Welcome to the business, hope you never turn back. We're not far from you in Little Rock. We're hoping to make it to the REIA meeting in Hot Springs on January 20th. Perhaps we'll meeting you there?

@Account Closed, we might just take you up on that offer. Send me more details, and we'll add it to our calendar.

We're in Little Rock, Arkansas, and we found out quickly that the properties we want to deal with have an ARV of $150,000 or higher. Lots of deals available on lower ARV properties, but those are either in bad areas or the margin for repairs is too tight. That's our thoughts from in state Arkansas.

That area is already turning around, lots of home already rehabbed and sold for a good price, and it's expanding out. It's okay that everybody doesn't see it, but this combines our two reasons for getting into this business. Neighborhood revitalization with profitability. As homes are rehabbed, neighbors are excited and fix their homes up a little bit. It's a win-win.

Hi, Zachary: We're in Little Rock, feeling the same passion about some of the areas in our city. Wondering if those homes around the lake would be good Air BNB properties. We definitely would not skip over a good deal on Lake Conway if it came our way. Let's stay in touch. Judy

Hi, Colin: Welcome ... we're your neighbor to the south in Little Rock. Let us know if you're down our way. Would love to connect to visit and encourage one another. Judy

Jonathan, the Hillcrest/Heights neighborhood are really hot, as is the Governor's Manson Historic District, where our current property is selling. Diane, there's homes redone all around this, selling for good prices, even along Chester. We have the house next door to redo as well, but we aren't going to close until this one sells, because we want to make sure our ARV is correct. The margins will be thinner on that one, because it's down to the studs. Gaines and Wolfe have lots of rehabs, and it's extending on out to other nearby streets. This is such a nice neighborhood, even with the older homes nearby - the neighbors next to ours are thrilled. We invited the neighbors to our first open house. Over 60 of them came and met us.
