@Levi Bartz It wouldn't hurt to also check out investing opportunities in Wisconsin. Depending on where you are looking to move you might find a better return there. Low inventory is still keeping prices high in the Twin Cities market. With interest rates approaching 6% and adding in property management expenses the numbers are usually pretty tight once you move out. That being said, you have to live somewhere so house hacking still remains one of the best ways to get starting in real estate investing.

Join the Millennial Investor Group and BP member/Twin Cities investor @Evan Kraljic as he shares how he is utilizing a construction loan to potentially put no money down on his most recent purchase and rehab. Evan will go over the budget, scope, and lessons learned in self-managing this renovation project including complications converting an unfinished basement to livable square footage.

About Evan:
Evan works full-time as an engineer and has been investing since 2019. He currently owns 7 units spread across 3 properties in South Mpls. He bought his first investment property to househack in 2020 and spent quarantine remodeling it. He then used a HELOC on his first propety to purchase a second rental property in 2021. His interest in real estate investing like many came from the desire for financial independence and a way out of his W2 job.

@Luke Thompson A judge halted enforcement on the tenant screening guidelines last year and then the St. Paul city council repealed the ordinance so those are no longer in effect. The rent control ordinance did pass and that goes into effect on May 1st although there is currently no plan or any details from the city on how it will be implemented.

@Adam Putschoegl Wouldn't hurt to add St. Louis Park and Richfield. Still value to be found there too.
