Hey Branden, I understand being disappointed about having to move from Florida to Minneapolis. However, I think you will come to really enjoy the area. There are so many amazing things to do in the Twin Cities. My wife and I househack here. I would be happy to connect and answer any question you may have!

Tim, Matt, and Bryon,
Are any of you familiar with the Austin, Minnesota area, regarding investment properties? I see that homes and rents are on the lower end compared to the metro. Is Austin, Minnesota a growing city? Is it easy to find renters in this area?
Thanks for any insight that you have.
Hey Michael, I have some family down in the Adams, MN (They do all their shopping in Austin). I'll send you a message and we can chat about Austin.

Hey Jared, I think that's a cool idea. My understanding of ADUs is that MOST areas require an owner occupant in order to rent out the ADU. Therefore if you are to move, there MAY be some issues renting the space out. I am not from NY so I am sure someone from the area will be able to give you better advice. Also, Being that you are looing to purchase a lot from the city, it probably has a separate property ID which could help you. Best of luck, I want to hear how this all turns out. Love the creative mindset!

Hey Cat, you're in the right place! First, I recommend to read Rich Dad Poor Dad and The Millionaire Next Door. Next. Also, you should attend some local real estate meet ups in your area. I am sure there are some great meet ups in Detroit and probably Lansing as well.

Hey everybody, I keep hearing over and over again that knowledge is the number 1 most important thing in real estate, so I am looking to learn as much about this field as much as I can. If you are a successful real estate figure (agents, contractors, property managers, ect.) that has some extra time to meet virtually once a week or so (more or less) please comment on this discussion. I’m going to be a college student in the fall but will be willing to do any side work for you if it helps me learn, I’ll work as hard as I can to pay you back for the knowledge I gain. If you are Minnesota specifically, that is where I am located and I would like to learn about my market in specific but anything helps!
Hey Riley, you are in the right place! Like @Account Closed said, start with Rich Dad Poor Dad. Another good book is The Millionaire Next Door. I am an investor and a real estate agent based out of the Twin Cities. I am happy to meet up or hop on a call! Depending where you live, there are a ton of great meet-ups in the area that can help you gain local knowledge.

Hey John, I have done well in Minnesota as well as Western Wisconsin. I think an investor can be successful in almost any market depending on what/who they have for a team in that market to help them be successful. Reach out if you want to discuss more about Minnesota!

Good afternoon all,
I am new to the real estate game and I am trying to figure out where to start. Since I am an information junkie I have so much info in my brain, I have no idea where to begin! Yes, it is a very frustrating spot to be in. If anyone has any compassion and would like to help a girl out I will be forever grateful.
Hey Pamela, you have come to the right place! What are some of your questions to start??

Hey Jack, welcome back to the cities! (In a year and a half) You have the right mindset by wanting to house hack as my wife and I have done it a couple of times in Stillwater, MN just outside the city. I wish I had a crystal ball as to say which areas are going to be best to house hack in 2025! I would determine what areas fit your criteria for where you want to live in comparison to family, jobs and community. After that, you can dive into what specific areas within that will give you the best option to house hack. A couple other books I would recommend are Rich Dad, Poor Dad and The Millionaire Next Door. Both are great mindset books as you continue to research. As to accurate inputs, there are a ton of variables that will be property specific.
