New investor in St. Louis, Missouri

[Aaron Welter]

Hello Everyone,

Here is a quick introduction. My name is Aaron and I recently relocated to St. Louis, MO area due to a career at Stifel Financial. I currently rent and have entertained the idea of purchasing a duplex or other small multifamily unit and house hack (as I have noticed this is a seemingly popular idea amongst new investors). I would love any feedback from people who are in my shoes now or who have been in them in the past on things or scenarios to consider before beginning this journey. Also, as I am STILL very new to this, any recommended learning material such as good articles, books, etc. pertaining to my situation would be appreciated immensely.

Best Regards
