Do you go to real estate investor meetups? 

I've created a discord channel for st Louis Investors https://discord.com/invite/Xjv8rJ3Y

I am new to real estate investing and looking to connect with any local investor.

A great way to get started is to go to local real estate investor meetups and meet other investors.

I have a few questions for those familiar with the market:- What neighborhoods would you recommend for a first-time investor like myself?
