Join the Millennial Investor Group and Bethany Nelson as she shares her current house hacking duplex project in Plymouth. 

Bethany Nelson is a local Twin Cities Realtor that often shares candidly how her poor money mindset not only kept her from investing in real estate for many years but put her into a large financial rut. With the help of a trusted lender, credit repair company and encouragement from fellow investor/Realtor friends like @Scott Hoefler Bethany bought her first duplex in 2018 and just closed on the second one. She hopes her story inspires others that they too can pursue financial freedom through real estate.

Please park on Zachary Avenue.

@Marcela Patino Northeast is great! Very popular area with lots of rental demand thus priced accordingly. The market for both SF and MF is very competitive right now but if you narrow down what you are looking for you'll eventually find the right property. As everyone else has mentioned it really depends on your investing goals!

@Dustin Williams Have been hearing from a lot of people about an increase in insurance costs this year. You could try Insurance Warehouse or Landreau Group. I'm using State Farm right now and got decent pricing for a fourplex.

@Rich Leone Unfortunately the eviction moratorium is still in place in Minnesota so you cannot non-renew at this time. Sounds like you've got a great opportunity for placing a tenant when the moratorium is over though! 

@Anthony Buccanero Welcome! Lots of great people in the Twin Cities market willing to share their knowledge and lessons learned. Highly recommend checking out a few local meetups and events now that things are opening up!

Welcome @Brett Roach - House hacking is the best way to start building a portfolio but if you're looking to get into wholesaling I'd recommend bird-dogging for an experienced investor. To save cash, start with a specific market or neighborhood and work it in all the ways you've read about (mail, calls, door knocking, etc). Inventory is at an 18-year low in the metro so nearly every city has opportunity right now. Pre-foreclosure lists are one of the easiest to get so there's a lot of competition there. There are quite a few title companies that work with investors and understand the wholesaling process. If you'd like a list let me know!
