Newbie in St. Louis area

[Priscilla Lakes]

Hello everyone. I'm new to BiggerPockets and Real Estate investing. I am currently a pharmacist in the St. Louis area, but I’ve always had a passion for real estate and I'm excited about my future in real estate. Right now I am in the education stage and am open to acquiring as much knowledge as possible with the goal of starting my portfolio early this summer. I am also looking into acquiring a real estate license for Missouri and later Illinois. If anyone has any suggestions on the best ways to get licensed in Missouri that would be greatly appreciated.

Hello Priscilla. That is great to hear you are looking to start your real estate investment journey. I would recommend that you join the local meet up in St. Louis (St Louis REI Happy Hour). It is ran by a few BP members and is currently over zoom, but should hope to be going by to live soon. Send me a message and I will give you their email, so you can get the link for the next zoom meeting on the 25th.

Do some networking and meet people that are in different stages of their investing journey.
