Not to beat a dead horse because I believe it has already been said..... I would NOT invest in that part of St. Louis if you are new and inexperienced. The northern part of the city is known to be the roughest part of town. I try not to even drive through that area I stick with a 2 zip codes in south city. Its pretty difficult to find a great deal on the MLS in south city right now as I've seen some duplexes and quads only last on the market for a few days and also sell over asking price. It's nuts! It's also a much more desirable part of town.

Nice job Adam! What neighborhoods in STL were you looking in during your search?

Thank you @Peter MacKercher and @Greg Miller. I'll be at the event this evening and hope to meet you there.

@Nathan Gesner Thank you and will do! thank you for the guidelines as well.

@Kyle Eckert Thanks! Yes I will be attending the event this evening. Hope to see you there.

Hello All,

I am new to St. Louis and new to multifamily investing. I'm just beginning to connect with some local groups in the St. Louis area and have attended a few networking events so far. Looking to make my first small (2-4 unit) multifamily purchase in the next 12 months. I've just begun analyzing deals and still working on narrowing down the neighborhoods and streets where I would ultimately make my first purchase. Would love to connect with anyone local and open to any suggestions as far as good areas to start.

My background.... I currently work for a company that sells environmental risk information about commercial real estate to environmental engineers and lenders as part of the Phase I process when acquiring commercial real estate.  I've been in this field for about 10 years. Prior to that I was involved in financial services/mortgages and am also an Army Veteran.

So far the education I've been gaining from the podcasts and this website have been invaluable and have already made a few great connections here. Looking forward to contributing and connecting through the forums and pulling the trigger on my first deal in the very near future. Thanks All!

I'm new to the area and new to multifamily investing as well. I had the same question in regards to Soulard and interested in hearing insights about the area.

Very inspirational! Nice work!
