What happens when a school principal trades lesson plans for rehabs, rental properties, and real estate freedom?

You get Rebecca Bauer’s story—and this month at Buyers Club, she’s telling it all.

Rebecca and her husband flipped the script (and a whole lot of houses) to build a thriving real estate business right here in the St. Louis area. From rehabs to rentals, they’ve created a portfolio that fuels their lifestyle, allows them to travel, and provides real freedom.

At this meetup, you’ll:
✅ Discover how they started from scratch and built a successful business
✅ Learn tips for flipping houses with your spouse
✅ Hear what’s worked (and what hasn’t) from real deals
✅ Connect with local investors actively doing business in the St. Louis market

Buyers Club is where St. Louis real estate investors come to grow.
Whether you're flipping, holding, wholesaling, or just starting to explore the possibilities, you’ll find real people, real stories, and real opportunities to move forward.

Success in real estate isn’t about luck—it’s about strategy, execution, and learning from every deal. Few investors have mastered that better than TJ Moe and Scotty Moe, who’ve closed 150 deals in just five years.

TJ, a former Mizzou football standout, and Scotty, whose journey took him from missionary work to mastering real estate, started with a HomeVestors franchise before breaking out on their own. Now, they’re giving you an unfiltered look at how they are building their business, scaling fast, and are creating long-term wealth.

What You’ll Learn:

✔ Flips & Rentals, The Good & The Ugly – What's working, what's flopped, and how they course-correct.

📊 Numbers That Matter – A behind-the-scenes look at their key performance metrics and decision-making process.

🔥 Reality Checks from 150 Deals – The hard lessons they've had to learn the expensive way—so you don’t have to.

This is real-world investing from people who are in the trenches. Whether you’re scaling up or just getting started, this meetup will give you insights you won’t find on YouTube.

Mark your calendar and don't miss it! Come ready to connect, learn, and take your investing to the next level.
