This is inspiring to hear. Congrats on getting it closed!

@Luther Wilson III & @Paul Gimmarro I'm also interested in investing in KC area. BRRRR specifically. Very green, but I like the Independence area. Still building up the capital for my first deal while I consume BRRRR by David Green. Would either of you recommend a property management company as well as general contractor?

Also, if you're aware of any leads i'd be interested, I'm wanting to get some repetitions analyzing deals.

Looking forward to connecting with you both!

@Chris Fillingham thanks for your response! I’m actually looking to invest in both areas, eventually. I’ll be living in the St Charles area in about 6 weeks.

Hello BiggerPockets community! 

My name is Shaun. My background in real estate is using an agent to purchase and sell a condo and single family home. I'm also currently building a home. All traditional purposes. 

I'm from the suburbs of St. Louis, Missouri. I'm in sales at a science, tech & healthcare company. 

My vision for real estate is to eventually gain financial independence. I want to start by using the BRRRR strategy and I'm hoping to invest in my first property by no later then March 2021 with a cash flow of $200/month. I joined Bigger Pockets after reading How to Invest in Real Estate by Joshua Dorkin & Brandon Turner.

@Caleb Christopher I'm currently living in the Blue Springs area for 6 more weeks. So likely not too far from you right now. I'd love to meetup just to talk real estate. 

@Tina Cruz @Account Closed Thanks for your responses. Where are you finding the deals to analyze, through biggerpockets.com? Local agents in the market you're wanting to invest in? I'd love to get to work practicing analyzing deals.

@Timothy VanWingerden Thanks for your response. I just joined a couple of investor groups in StL & KC on Facebook and am going to look into some local meetups as well. 

@Caleb Christopher I haven't done any of that. I'm extremely green. Where are you in your REI journey?

@Anthony Simboli Thank you for your response! IIt sounds like my next action step would be to start building my 'team'. 

My initial goal is to own one property that cash flows $200/month. The idea of consistent cash flow is what I'm really after when I check my gut. So BRRR is likely the route that I need to focus on. Thanks for helping bring that clarity.

You know that fear you had when you decided to finally invest in real estate, but the drive to change your life is weighing heavy on you? 

That's where I sit. I read How to Invest in Real Estate in 2 days because I couldn't put it down, but actually taking action is terrifying when as the sole provider for a family of 5.

I'm looking for help in the St. Louis and Kansas City, Missouri areas from people who have experience. I'm a sales person by day, but in the healthcare industry, not real estate. BRRR's and Flips are what i'm interested in learning about investing in.

My question is where do I go from here? What's the process look like to buy your first BRRR/Flip? I read the sections and plan on rereading them, but am curious about how to really take action and get some skin in the game.

Appreciate any and all feedback.

Shaun
