My daughter is headed to the Twin Cities for college this fall and we are interested in finding a property she can use after freshman year.  My thought is to have her on it as an owner to kick-start her investing future.  Any help with connections in the area - lenders, realtors, investors with similar thoughts - would be greatly appreciated.  We currently have four STRs so dipping into long-term will be a new experience, but not entirely foreign for us.  Thanks!

Cool story about owning property near the U, I have family friends who owned a few there and were contacted about their property. They were offered fair market value to purchase and they turned down, they countered with 25% over, declined, then 50% over, then double... turns out it was a developer and they were the last lot needed before all the homes would get razed and turned into a massive apartment complex. 

Money better spent in your pockets than the U. The secret about colleges is they're actually landlords:)
