Networking to expand my business to nearby Midwest states

Posted Jan 27 2021, 08:41

I am a Multifamily real estate investor in the St. Louis area (across the river on the IL side). I am wanting to try and work my way to start investing around my nearby states (Missouri, Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee). I am just a little worried about the direction Illinois is heading towards as far as crime rate, taxes, people moving from the state, etc. My goal is to network with other investors, brokers, agents in search to find great assets in these certain states. Please reach out if you are interested! Thanks

Hi @Stephen Jones, I hear you. Some of those reasons are why I chose Indiana and Missouri as places to invest in.

@Nathan Murith-

If you don’t mind me asking, where are you invested in in Missouri?

@Stephen Jones

Hey, Stephen! Smart of you to gage the environment and seek other options that make sense for you. Saint Louis is a great area to look at, so that makes a lot of sense considering you’re so close by.

I just bought a duplex in South City and it’s really working out for me. I would love to hear about what you’re leaning towards for your next purchase. Feel free to DM me so we can ping some ideas around!
