Columbia, MO investor here! There is definitely opportunity around here but financial independence doesn’t happen over night. I began investing two years ago with a partner and it has gone well so far. I find the properties, figure out financing, and work numbers, and he estimates repair costs and manages subs. If you don’t want to learn or don’t have time to learn, it’s usually best to partner with someone who has the skills you don’t. You do end up losing some of your gains but if you pay attention, you can eventually learn from them and operate more independently in the future.

A good place to start is saving money, educating yourself and getting a plan together. Next find your local rockstars: Realtor, property managers, contractors, and banks. All these people will have perspectives and information for you.


We started with limited experience and funding but we have learned a ton over the past few years. We first bought 2 duplexes; we have since done 3 flips and own 7 properties with a total of 10 doors. Feel free to reach out to me if you want to talk about it sometime! I would be happy to talk about my experiences with you and give you pointers.

@Esteban Rivera @Karl B.Hey guys, I'm glad you all posted because I have been trying to find more people interested in coming to an event I'm having next week. I'm hosting a Social REI event at Shakespeares South on Tuesday, February 18th. No gimmicks, no sales, no entry fee, just networking. I plan to provide pizza so let me know if you want to come so I can make sure to order enough. Looks like we have 10+ people coming right now so it should be decent. Message me on here for my contact to keep you in the loop for this meetup and future ones.
