If you have to post to a forum for advice on how to raise thIs level of money means you haven’t played in this league before.

Louis has great universities and med centers, plus family weddings and baseball. 

Triple A baseball, minor league hockey, concerts, plays, etc.

Once you get into higher end / higher priced properties, these numbers will have to change as it is not a one size fits all equation.As an example, I sold a property a few months ago for $1.56M and the gross profit at the end was about $225k which ended up being a triple of a deal (baseball reference).

If you were a baseball player, you start in the minors, then go the the big leagues. 

The city is also in talks with the Tampa Bay Rays to build a baseball stadium in the area.

If I knew I had a violent sex offender as a tenant, I would feel that I have not provided the safe home to my other tenants.It is my opinion that a violent sex offender should not be in a multiplex, near schools, children clubs/sports (Y, Little League, soccer fields, etc.), etc.. 

Saying only one is the answer for all investors is like saying people should only invest in Pokemon, Bitcoin, or 90's baseball cards, it's just bad investing advice.
