_______________

In this episode, we're talking about a real-life St. Louis deal that is generating $578 a month in passive income starting on day one.

Most people think you need to be a "boots on the ground" landlord to see a 25% cash-on-cash return. That’s where they get stuck.

In this episode, I break down exactly how one of my clients bought a fully renovated property in a top-tier Midwest market without ever flying to Missouri. We'll go through the purchase price vs. value, the negotiation secrets for free property management, and why Boeing’s massive 2026 HQ relocation makes this market a long-term goldmine.

If you've been sitting on the sidelines watching inflation eat your savings, this episode will show you the exact math you need to get back in the game.

What you'll learn:

  • The real numbers: A $120k purchase price breakdown.
  • Why St. Louis rental demand is sitting at 55% with record-low vacancy.
  • How to negotiate one year of free property management.
  • The "Reserves" Rule: Why you need a 3-6 month cushion (and what to do when things go wrong).
  • Is turnkey still passive in 2026? (The honest answer).

And start looking at live deals. 

I work with a limited number of clients at a time because I want every investor to have direct access to me, vetted off-market deals, and a proven system that actually works. --->  https://api.leadconnectorhq.com/widget/bookings/ladyluck
