Hey all!

I am a newbie real estate investor from the twin cities (Minneapolis/ St. Paul) area. I have been interested in getting into real estate investing for the past year or so and feel I am finally ready to take some big steps! I am extremely motivated and would love to add value to anyone's real estate business in exchange for some experience. If you are from the area or know of any great mentors to help me on my journey please connect or comment below. I am so excited to get started and join this great community!!

Welcome, there's plenty of wisdom and skill to go around in these forums.  Nothing beats a meetup and getting to meet the folks who are investing in person and asking them the questions you have in mind.  Happy to help point you in the right direction or provide the resources you are looking for.

    Hi @John Gauger welcome!

    I am also a newbie real estate investor in the twin cities area. I would reiterate what @Jeff Schemmel said about meetups and networking in person. I am trying my best at both of these to get the connections with folks that will help facilitate my investing goals. I am not going into each conversation looking for a mentor but instead going in thinking how can I add value to them and how could I leverage their skills to assist me along in my career as well. I would love to connect and chat more about what's happening in the metro area. I know that there is a very small meetup/flip tour happening tonight and I can share that with you if you'd like to send me a message. 

    Meetups are coming back, some virtual and some in person, but its important to put yourself out there and surround yourself with people who are doing what you'd like to do.

    Hi John! Sounds like you're moving and grooving, which is great to hear. Wanted to share that BiggerPockets is launching a 12 week Rookie Bootcamp in late August, with Ashley Kehr leading the way. She's the host of the Real Estate Rookie podcast. It'll be a mix of on demand videos, live Q&A sessions, and a step-by-step curriculum to help you get your next deal. Sharing in case it might be helpful to get the wheels turning!
