I purchased a duplex in Saint Paul Minnesota sight unseen. The purchase price included rehab and getting tenants in it so it’s basically a turnkey purchase. I’ve decided to go out and visit the property. My wife and I will be there on Saturday September 30th in the afternoon until Monday October 2nd in the evening. My goal is to see the property and meet with the guys involved in the rehab and property management. I also plan to meet with a local bank to talk about a refi down the road.

Can you give me some suggestions on how to best use my time?

I plan to drive around and get a feel for the area. The property is north of the river near the Arlington hills library. I already know that it’s not the best area, so if you have any insights, please be candid.

If there are any investors in the area that would like to have coffee and discuss the area, I would love to meet you. Thanks!

@Don Jackson  I am familiar with the area.  I believe you are in 55106.  I live 1-2 miles from there and own a rental less than a mile from yours.  We should connect.  Please PM me to meet up.  I'm also a local lender so maybe we can talk about that too.
