Newbie Investor in St. Louis, MO

My name is Mark Johnson and I'm a aspiring investor from St. Louis, MO.  I've been devouring the podcasts over the last week and thought I should start participating on the forum. 

I've been a real estate agent since 2011 and do about 40-50 transactions per year.  I've been working with more and more investors purchasing multifamilies as well as a few flippers.  This has really peaked my interest and I thought I need to learn more about it.

I am really looking to learn more about flipping homes, specifically how to analze the deals since the marketing involved in finding these types of deals fits in perfectly with what I am already doing for my real estate business.

    Hello @Mark Johnson

    Welcome to BP! Looks like you are great at what you do as a real estate agent. We are new to the Saint Louis Market, with a current multi-family complex in escrow. I wholesale residential in midwest states as well. We mainly hold some multi-family in Indianapolis. Would like to connect!

    @Jason Sandegren @Dave Visaya @Isiah C. @Account Closed For Multi Family buildings, I would primarily be looking anywhere south of highway 44/64.  For flipping single families, almost anywhere in the metropolitan area.  I've gotten to know a decent amount of contractors looking to dip get involved in this but don't know where to start.  My main objective is to learn how to be of value to them and how to bring them deals.

    Welcome to BP, Mark! This site has plenty to offer from podcasts, forums that you can receive advice from professionals, and many tools that will help you analyze whether the deals you are considering are profitable. I have been on the site about 8 months and purchased my first multi family in Tower Grove South 6 months ago that I am house hacking. I am also looking to purchase more properties. If you are looking to flip SF homes, north county offers reasonably priced properties that would allow to get your feet wet without spending six figures. Drop me a PM sometime and we can discuss further. Take care.
