This property is in the heart of North City. It would be considered a war zone property. As a new investor and also being remote, I would highly suggest staying away from this investment.

Thanks Anthony! I’ll check them out. Greatly appreciated

I'm searching for a quality tree trimming service in the St. Louis County area. I have two large oak trees on a property of mine that are in need of a trimming. I have received quotes from several companies, but $2500 (the lowest bidder) seems a bit costly. Does anyone have some recommendations? It would be greatly appreciated!

EJ, I live here and invest in northern St. Louis County. I only own a 4 unit building, but it cash flows nearly $1800 a month. There’s definitely no shortage of opportunities here. North St. Louis has a bad rep, but I’ll echo that this is due to a few really bad areas. There are a lot of pocket areas where it goes from good to terrible in a heart beat. Definitely a good idea to build relationships with others here and build a small “boots on the ground” team if you plan to invest here. Feel free to message me if you have any further questions about St. Louis.

Hi Andrew, I currently invest and live in Bridgeton. It is definitely not a war zone, but you are correct in saying it is a mid to low income area. It is close to a vast amount of shopping and restaurants and I find it very convenient. My tenants feel the same. I would recommend staying to the south/east side of Interstate 270 due to the landfill problems. Feel free to message me if you have anymore questions.

Hey Sean, I’m a local real estate investor in the St. Louis area. Feel free to message me if you have any questions. Areas in this city can change from great to rough and back to great all within a few blocks. St. Louis is an awesome city to invest in but you need to be careful when investing remotely here, and you’ll want to find someone local if you choose this market.

Hello everyone! I purchased my first 4 family investment property 4 months ago. I’ve attempted to do my own taxes online, but the task was a bit more daunting than I anticipated. This property was my first home purchase. With it also being an investment property cash flowing right off the bat and doing renovations in the 2017 year, I feel it would be worth while to hire a CPA to ensure I have all my deductions covered. Does anybody have any recommendations for a real estate friendly CPA in the St. Louis, MO area?

Are there any costs associated with this meeting?
