Hey everyone,

I’ve been hearing more about co-living as an investment strategy — where multiple tenants rent out individual rooms in a single property, often sharing common spaces like kitchens and living rooms.

I’m curious if anyone here in the St. Louis or St. Charles County markets has implemented co-living as part of their rental strategy?

  • What types of properties work best for it here?
  • Are there specific neighborhoods where it performs well (or doesn’t)?
  • How have you structured leases and managed utilities/expenses?
  • Any zoning issues or challenges I should be aware of locally?

Would love to hear about your experiences (good or bad) and any advice you’d give to someone thinking about trying this model!

Thanks in advance — looking forward to learning from you all!

Hey everyone,

I’m looking to dive deep into short sales and would love to connect with anyone currently doing them or who has experience. I’m interested in learning:

  • How to find properties that would be good candidates for short sales
  • The best way to reach out to sellers and contact their banks
  • How to navigate the short sale process and help stop foreclosure effectively
  • Any tools, scripts, or systems you recommend for managing the process

If you’re actively working short sales or have any advice on how to get started the right way, I’d really appreciate hearing from you.

Thanks in advance — looking forward to connecting and learning from you all!

Quote from @Bryce Jamison:

The first thing that comes to my find is "Extreme Ownership", based on the book of the same name by the Navy seal Jacko Willink.

Basically, you have influence in every outcome in your life. If something went wrong, you didn't do enough to prevent it.

It's a good book to shift your paradigm from " this happened because of some external factor" to "unknown external factors are always present and I need to try and account for as many of them as I can as best I can". 

I love that book! 

Lately, I’ve been reading A Changed Mind, and it hit me: most investors don’t need a new strategy—they need a new mindset.

This book dives deep into how mental shifts lead to tangible results. I started applying some of these principles to my real estate game, and deals really started looking a whole lot different.

So here’s my question to fellow investors:

What’s one belief about real estate you’ve had to completely unlearn to level up?

Drop it in the comments—I’m curious to hear how your mindset has evolved.

Hey guys my name is Andy. I am a part time fireman and full-time real estate investor/wholesaler/agent. I currently market to the Saint Louis market by cold calling absentee owners. I have a few properties right now for assignment. I am looking for buyers of all kinds. I have tenant occupied rentals, newly renovated occupied turnkey rental, a distressed 3/1 SFH that is vacant, a newly renovated owner financing deal and more in the pipeline. I live here in Saint Louis

Thank you for responding

I appreciate the response. I was definitely planning on speaking with my CPA!
