Bigger pockets what's up!,

My name is Tanner Trokey I live in South County, up the street from Melville high school, probably about 15 to 20 minutes away from downtown St. Louis. I have no prior real estate experience except flipping a few books and 3 day seminar. I joined a local REIA group a few months back, and have been working for a local landlord, which has opened up my eyes to the up and downs of owning rental property. Although I do want to have some type of passive income down the road, I am currently interested in the art of wholesaling. I feel like it would be the best way to get my feet wet and to build up a little capitol on the way.

If anyone would like to share their knowledge about the St. Louis market, or past experiences I'm all ears. Looking forward to getting more involved in Bigger Pockets and to talk some like- minded people and possibly network with some of you. (picture will be coming)

Thank you!
