Introduce me to the St. Louis Multi-family market !!!

[Ralph Noyes]

Hey everyone,

My wife and I are moving St. Louis in October and already have a rental setup there (from a **** landlord we want to get out from under ASAP). So we're looking to buy in the city after that, hopefully a duplex we could move into part of. Seems like that's all you see in the city are multi-family buildings so I figure there should be plenty of selection, right?

What are your experiences in the St. Louis market? Any good, cheap appreciating areas you'd recommend? Any real estate agents in particular? Our rental is in the Tower Grove east neighborhood, which seems to be right on the edge of trendy and dangerous (aka cheap but rising fast...tons of buying, selling, and flipping in the area). I'm thinking we look for something in the area that needs a little work.... thoughts?

St. Louis is very block to block so I would recommend working with a realtor that has experience in South City rental real estate, including owning & managing properties of their own. @Peter MacKercher is our agent and property manager and would fit the bill for you. Good luck!
