Aspiring Investor in St. Louis, MO

Hi everyone, 


I am an aspiring real estate investor, looking to purchase my first buy & hold rental property in 2020. I live in Illinois, but work in St. Louis, MO and am looking to invest in St. Louis. I currently work in healthcare, and my goal is to build enough income through real estate to have the freedom to spend more time with my family and not have to be tethered to a W2 income to survive. I found BP in late 2018 after reading Mr. Money Mustache and have since started listening to the podcasts, reading blog/forum posts/books, and attending webinars. 

My focus right now is on finding cash flowing 2-4 unit 2 bed/1bath properties located in the South City area. I am still trying to narrow down my area and am leaning towards the Dutchtown/South Hampton/Princeton Heights/Holly Hills area. 


I am excited to continue on this journey and look forward removing the "aspiring" tag by the end of 2020.

Welcome to the investing world! I think is the best time to start jumping! I own and lived in South City.. My properties are in Gravois Park and Dutchtown area so any questions let me know. I am getting ready to put one of my duplexes up for sale at the end of June and if you are interested..putting out there cause the inventory is low right now but that could change in the next month with things opening back up
