New investor from O’Fallon, IL

[Ryan Seipp]

Hello all! This is my first time on the website and I am just trying to get my feet wet with all of this real estate investing and I am very curious and excited. I have read “Rich dad, poor dad” and “the book on rental property investing” by Brandon Turner. I have just ordered another book by Brandon Turner “ The book on investing in real estate with no and low money down”. All of these books have been great and I really enjoy Brandon Turners writing style. My first question is do you guys have any other books to recommend to myself?

Also I have been born and raised in O’Fallon,IL and I have bought my own personal family home here in July 2018. I am interested in buying multi family homes in either O’Fallon,IL or St. Louis, MO. If any of you can inform me on the pros and cons and what state would be better for a new investor. Any advice/ suggestions you have I am all ears. Thank you!
