New Investor - NW Twin Cities Metro

Hello Bigger Pockets! My name is Austin, and my wife and I are looking to start our journey into real estate investing by purchasing our first investment property in the northwest Twin Cities metro in the fall of this year. This is a new endeavor for us, so the unknown is certainly nerve-wracking (more-so for my wife than me). I've spend the better part of this year reading numerous real estate investing books and listening to 200+ BP podcasts. I feel like I've reached the point where I've armed myself with all I can and need to start taking action. We'll definitely be active on the forums as we look for advice. We're extremely excited to connect with all of you! Austin
