Welcome! Locally it's tough to find deals that pencil out right now due to prices and rates, so househacking is a great way to invest in the Twin Cities market. You won't be living for free but if you can find a property with solid rents or some value-add potential I think it's a worthwhile investment. REI is for the long-game in the current market unless you are flipping. I co-host two REI networking groups (one is the Minnesota chapter of InvestHER) and would be happy to send you the details if you want to see what is working for people here!

Join us the Millennial Investors Group this month to learn about how can you use real estate investing to make an impact and change the world. As investors, we often focus on growing our # of doors and maximizing income, but may not spend much time thinking about how to use our skills to help those most in need. Sam Foltz, an experienced investor, started Flips for the Fatherless to bring investors, tradespeople, and everyday people together. He will share practical tips on how to find and manage a flip in this market and use real estate to make an impact.Come see this unique real estate renovation project where 100% of the profit is being given away to help end human trafficking, support orphans and refugees, and strengthen families. 

Glenn Williams is a local flipper who hosts free monthly meetings on flipping/rehabbing and just launched a coaching program as well. I'll DM you a link to his group! 

Join the Millennial Real Estate Investors group this month to discuss apartment syndications. Eric Eickhof of CoVest Ventures will be discussing the overall process plus his team's most recent apartment deal in the Twin Cities. Whether you are in a new investor exploring their options or an experienced investor looking to do something different they'll be something for everybody to learn.

About Eric
Eric got his start in real estate while still in college at the University of Minnesota. His first purchase was a townhome in his hometown of Grand Forks, ND. He was able to 1031x the townhome into a duplex in Minneapolis, MN. That is when the lights clicked and he has been building his real estate portfolio ever since. Eric is the owner and managing broker of Fulton Realty in Minneapolis, MN and the General Partner of Covest Ventures. He has travelled the investor journey from an owner/operator of residential and small multi-family properties to making the leap into commercial real estate investing.

All ages always welcome! 

@Noah Chappell Garrett Gordon is worth a call to! 

@Georgina Graham I'd review the rental guidelines for each city and then check rental comps on Rentometer. Sometimes there aren't many single-family rental comps so you can verify on Facebook Marketplace, Zillow or Apartments.com. I'd base my decision on potential rental income and future Cap Ex.
