You can also post in the Buyers Club Facebook group if it’s something the community might be able to chime in on. We’ve got a ton of experienced investors and vendors who are always willing to share what they know. You don’t have to figure it all out alone.

Yes — Buyers Club is specifically for people who are investing in the St. Louis area and want to plug into the local community.

Our in-person events are held in St. Louis, and our weekly Zoom calls are focused on topics, strategies, and vendors that are relevant to this market. Whether you live here or invest here from out of town, if your focus is St. Louis real estate, you’ll feel right at home.

This is a space to build real relationships, share market-specific insights, and grow your network with people who are investing where you are. 

Buyers Club has been a cornerstone of the St. Louis area real estate investing community since 2015. Over these years, we’ve grown from a small group of passionate investors meeting in a local coffee shop to a thriving community with hundreds of active members. Throughout our history, we’ve maintained our commitment to creating a welcoming, educational, and collaborative environment for real estate investors in the St. Louis area. Our longevity in the market speaks to the value we provide and the strong relationships we’ve built within the local real estate ecosystem. 

Buyers Club stands out from other real estate groups in several key ways:

• Community-First Approach: We prioritize building genuine relationships over sales pitches. Our events focus on meaningful connections rather than vendor promotions.
• Practical Education: Our content is actionable and specific to the St. Louis market, not generic theory that doesn’t apply locally.
• Deal Flow: Members regularly share off-market opportunities within our community before they hit public channels.
• Diverse Strategies: We embrace all investment approaches from fix-and-flip to buy-and-hold to commercial, rather than pushing a single “right way” to invest.
• Vetted Resources: Our network of service providers has been thoroughly vetted by our leadership team and rated by members.
• Inclusive Culture: We actively welcome investors at all levels and create specific programming for beginners.

Most importantly, we’re a true community where members support each other’s success, not just a networking event or educational platform. 

Not officially — but we love it when you do! You can RSVP through our Meetup page or Facebook Event or just show up. A heads-up is always appreciated (especially when we’re ordering food 😉). 

Easy peasy:

• First-time visitors: Just RSVP on our Meetup page — your first meeting is free!
• Returning visitors: You can pay $25 per meeting or save big with an annual membership for $150 (that’s unlimited meetups for the year).

Pro tip: If you’re planning to come to more than a few meetings, the annual membership is a no-brainer. You’ll save money and get all the perks without the hassle. 

Doors open at 6:00 PM, and we begin admitting attendees right at that time. Early entry is not available, so plan to arrive at 6:00 to check in, grab some food and drinks, and start networking with other investors. The main speaker presentation begins at 6:45 PM. 

Yes! Each meetup includes light food — think small bites like pizza, tamales, sandwiches, and more (the menu varies by event). Complimentary soda and water are provided, and a cash bar is also available. It’s the perfect setup to enjoy a bite and a drink while making connections with other attendees. 

No, Buyers Club meetups are not recorded. The true value comes from being in the room, learning directly from the speaker, asking questions in real time, and building relationships through face-to-face networking. If you want the full experience, you’ll need to show up in person. 

Buyers Club meetups welcome a wide range of people. You’ll meet everyone from beginners who are just curious about real estate investing to seasoned professionals with 20+ years of experience and everyone in between. The mix creates a valuable learning and networking environment for investors at all levels. 

No, Buyers Club does not host a meetup in December. We typically meet on the third Thursday of every month, but take a break for the holiday season and resume regular meetups in January. 

Our Trusted Vendor List is a curated group of contractors, lenders, insurance agents, property managers, and other service providers who work with real estate investors in the St. Louis area. These vendors have been vetted by our team and recommended by members of the Buyers Club community.

They’re people we know, like, and trust — and we’ve seen them show up and deliver.

Disclaimer: Although Buyers Club has vetted each Vendor Team member, we don’t guarantee anyone’s work. Always do your own due diligence before hiring anyone from the Trusted Vendor Team. 

If you’ve worked with someone amazing — a contractor, lender, title company, insurance agent, or anyone else in the real estate space — we’d love to hear about them!

Just send us an email at Rachel@buyers-club.com with:

• Their name and contact info
• What they do
• Why you recommend them

We’re always on the lookout for great people who show up, do quality work, and support the investor community. 

We want our Vendor Team to reflect the values and standards of the Buyers Club community. If you have a concern, issue, or feedback about a vendor you’ve worked with, please let us know.

You can email Rachel@buyers-club.com, and we’ll review the situation privately and thoughtfully. Your feedback helps us keep this community strong and trusted. 

We’re always looking for high-quality professionals who serve the real estate investor community in St. Louis.

To be considered for our Trusted Vendor Team, you’ll need:

• A history of working with real estate investors
• At least three references from Buyers Club members
• A willingness to meet with Rachel or Bryan in person to make sure it’s a fit for the community

If you’re interested in joining the Vendor Team, just email Rachel@buyers-club.com and we’ll walk you through the next steps. 

Buyers Club Live is our weekly Zoom call, held every Wednesday at 12 PM CST. It’s a casual, collaborative space where St. Louis investors come together to talk deals, share insights, and ask questions.

Each week, you can expect:

• Deal breakdowns — bring one to share or learn from others
• Live Q&A — ask anything from “Is this a good deal?” to “How do I structure this loan?”
• Occasional guest experts — local pros drop in to share tips, tools, and updates
• Community connection — celebrate wins, get feedback, and stay plugged into the STL investing scene

It’s low-pressure, high-value, and one of the best ways to stay sharp and connected throughout the week — all from your laptop or phone. 

Yes! We record our Buyers Club Live Zoom calls, and you can always find the recordings in the Buyers Club Facebook group. 

Whether you missed a call or just want to rewatch a great discussion, the replays are there whenever you need them.  

Easy! Just head to our Buyers Club Live page for the weekly Zoom link, call details, and everything you need to join.
