New to Real Estate Investing

[Nicholas Cook]

So I am fairly new to real estate investing and just want to introduce myself. I do have a fairly extensive background related to personal finance with teaching Personal Finance and previously having a career as a Financial Advisor, but as for REI I am hoping to make my first multi-family unit purchase in the next 6 months. I have 2 questions in regard to real estate investing:

1) If you have joined Bigger Pockets Pro, is it worth it?  I am ideally looking for an online course that includes a community and group coaching feature (on Zoom or something like that) where we can ask questions.

2) If you are local to St. Louis, MO, do you know of any meetups or in-person events?

Looking forward to networking with you all and working together to find success here!
