Hi Tyler. I sent you a connection request. Ping me and I can give you more information on local meetup. Also, would like to hear how you got started and how it’s going! Cheers!

Nothing Beats Experience! Come to this month's meetup to get a first-hand House Hack experience share from local REIs.

This is a public event open to all REI experience levels, so come meet us out for a great presentation, cheers!

Hi Ryan,

I agree with much of the feedback presented. Free content and doing your research will be very foundational, so start there. I also would suggest attending some of the local REI meetups to get exposure to others doing this already and to see what types of investing you might have interest in. We have one coming up on the 19th, it just got posted on the Minneapolis forum here. Cheers!

Happy New Year - There is no better time to get Back 2 Basics in your real estate investing journey! This month's REI Meetup will be focused on the one thing that can make or break your investing success (Property Management). Our meetup will be held @ on January 19th (4-7PM) at Modest Brewing. All experience levels are welcome, see you there!

Hey Wendy, thanks for asking this question. I would say that there is definitely softening in demand. In my opinion it is less about a decrease in rental prices, but instead more an indication of seasonality. Between end of October to after the start of the new year there is much less demand as people are enjoying the holiday season and many are not interested in moving during cold weather. 

My advice is to structure your leases / renewals to take March - May if possible. This helps as people are easier to place during this time. Also, you may need to make concessions to increase your tenant pool. You can try allowing animals or accepting partial security deposit if upfront cash is tight. 

Wishing you the best! Cheers!

Hey Zach! As Sam mentioned, we are hosting a remodel walkthrough this Thursday from 4-7PM at the property. You can DM me for the details or just search Minneapolis Real Estate Investors Meetup or Bridging Tenants and you should be able to find the event. We meet monthly and have done a great job structuring the meetings to blend networking and sharing knowledge! Cheers, hope to hear from you or see you at the event!

Great topic; I will do my best to get out there for this one! Cheers!

I have gad good success with First State Bank of LeCenter for home equity loans, and also Spire for business banking. Always good to have multiple partners in financing! Cheers!

Hello Michael,  I tend to agree with Daniel as well, however, there are several wholesalers that attend our monthly investor meetups. Happy to network you and get you connected. DM me or attend one our next meetups if it works out. Cheers! 

Come out this month to Bridging Tenants’ newest LTR to get hands-on experience seeing our remodeling process in action! BYOB and go room to room with your peers to learn our process and get tips/tricks to maximize your DIY effectiveness. We will cover estimating costs, purchasing, installing and contracting. See you there!
