My partner and I are born and raised in the St Louis and are looking to get started investing, specifically buy and hold/rent. We are very interested in multi purpose properties (commercial/ residential) in the University City - South City area. Finding the deals seems to be our weak point however. We would greatly appreciate any connections with individuals who can help!

I am crunching numbers on a turn key rental, well actually 2, purchased together. They each have commercial and residential units in them. I am looking for a good spreadsheet and/or calculator to organize this information . I cannot seem to efficiently find one in the File Place. I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction. Thank you! 

Aaaand... I feel dumb. Lol thank you for the direction Ned. Very much appreciated. 

obviously what i am inquiring about is an older subject however, obviously i am new here. i havent had any luck locating the Docs i heard about in the very early podcasts. I am definitely in need of some proper spreadsheets if anyone has some direction for me. thanks!

has anyone figured out where it went or how to get your hands on the documents?

I have not heard of that. I will look into it. Thank you! 

I have been researching and acquiring as much knowledge as possible over the last month to get a plan together to take my first step. I currently have my "extra" money wrapped up in a classic car restoration that will be worth $40k-$60k when finished. Taking the almost 40% capital gains into account I was thinking I could use it for collateral towards an investment loan? I also bought my home 7 years ago and it has appreciated in value by about $20k (sale value of around $140k). I am extremely handy and have experience building and rehabbing homes over the last 15 years. With that, what I would like to do is purchase 1 or 2 homes to flip, rehab 1 myslef while living there for about a year. The other I was thinking about having a contractor do most of the work to flip in a few months and use the money from that home to kick things off. I'm looking for any problems experienced investors see with this plan or anything I should watch out for. Thanks!
