Good stuff, so now that you know what you want no you just got to get out there and start pounding the pavement to find those deals! Not sure how competitive your market is, but either way just tell anyone and everyone what you are looking to buy as far as an investment property. You will never know where your next deal will come from! Good luck on your search and hope that you find that deal soon. And remember Real Estate Investing is a full contact sport. 

Great to see that you are getting ready to jump in after some hands on with another investor. I would have to ask you what are your over all goal is with your future rental properties? Are you looking streakily for cash flow or appreciation? I ask this just to see if you gave it though about long game, as if you buy into C type areas in order to build passive income and get some reps in on your own rentals, before 1031 exchanging into bigger properties?  

I have wholesaled some deals in the Fayetteville NC market, where they are getting their 1% returns. Now these buyers are buying cash and using the BRRRR method, and I am finding these deals off market. Not saying you can not find anything on the MLS that will get you that 1% and high COC.

But back to your main questions.. Military towns have seem to do well, now they are by no means bullet proof. So you have to take care of your investments in order to reap the rewards. Investing out of state requires you to have a good team on the ground that you trust to ensure your investment is working as an investment should. Real estate market in Fayetteville is very hot, even during COVID19 so take that for what it is worth. 

Hope this helps you in some way.

It would depend on what your over all plan is. I say that, because I have been flipping to have the quick cash to reinvest into other assets. Always have an exit strategy for the property before you buy it. I say that, because if you decide to flip the home in the middle of the rehab but you planned on making it a rental, you may not get top tier price for it. There is a difference on materials and finishes between a flip and a buy and hold property. Hope this helps you some. 

@Megan Greathouse thank you very much!

Thanks Peter, I think I have seen REI Happy Hour shared by someone else on my social media that is located there in STL. Thanks I will I make a note of the BP meet up tab and check this periodically. I sure hope that meet ups will start getting back to a "normal" occurrence soon. Have you gotten any word when that will be starting back in the area? Thanks for the information in advance!

Thank you, I will check that out as well.  

Thank you, I will check them out. 

Hi, looking to find out what RE meet ups are going on in the Saint Louis area. I will be moving to the area this summer and would like to connect and meet with other people involved/working in the space of Real Estate. Thank you in advance for any and all replies and connections!
