This is a single family, B class home.

I'm in a similar boat.  47 and just started looking for the deals several days ago. 

Don't know anyone in that area, but many OOS investors set themselves up for failure because they don't truly take the time to understand:1) The Class of the NEIGHBORHOOD they are buying in - which is relative to the overall area.2) The Class of the PROPERTY they are buying - which is relative to the overall area.3) The Class of the TENANT POOL the Neighborhood & Property will attract - which is relative to the overall area.4) The Class of the CONTRACTORS that will work on their Property, given the Neighborhood location - which is relative to the overall area.5) The Class of the PROPERTY MANAGEMENT COMPANIES (PMC) that will manage their Property, given the Neighborhood location and the Tenants it will attract - which is relative to the overall area.6) That OOS property Class rankings are usually vastly different than the local market they live in.7) That a Class X NEIGHBORHOOD will have mostly Class X PROPERTIES, which will only attract Class X TENANTS, CONTRACTORS AND PMCs and deliver Class X RESULTS.8) Class A is relatively easy to manage, can even be DIY remote managed from another state.9) Class B usually also okay, but needs more attention from owner and/or PMC10) Class C can be relatively successful with a great PMC (do NOT hire the cheapest!)

These were C class homes, in ok, but not great neighborhoods but by buying cheap, we netted about 50% of the rent as profit after all expenses, including a $100 maintenance reserve.  3 years later we are selling some of our properties for 2-2.5 times what we paid for them!!!  

Don’t buy a boat 3 days before closing. 

Pick an asset class: Class A, B, C & D properties, research pros & cons, pick one to focus onPick a real estate market that matches your resources & goalsContact local agents & PMC’s to start sending you listings to analyzeAnalyze a few deals weekly, get comfortable with the market and refine what you're looking for

They have a camper, plow, a boat and more.

Non immunized people are not a protected class. 

Talk to some local commercial real estate brokers to figure out what the cap rate is in your market and asset class.

The best property managers tend to specialize in a specific market/niche so a lot depends on the location within STL metro, class of property, etc.
