Hey all!

I am just at the starting point of searching for my first duplex. My projected timeline, i would really like to find a deal and close by about September-October. I am on a month-to-month lease so if my timeline is moved further out, i should be fine (my hope, timeline stays the same). Looking through BP and discussions, my timeline is really all at the discretion of the current market. I guess my question is, as a Newbie, is it too early to get out and start looking? Should i already be out there and analyzing deals, even with a few months ahead of me? How long did it take you to close on your very first deal? Any factors i should keep in mind? Also, Is anyone in the Minneapolis/Saint Paul area that can speak to the current market? Any input will be gladly appreciated.

@Jordan Moorhead thank you for your response. I have kept my eye in the neighborhoods of West Saint Paul so far, as I have heard good things about that area. Unfortunately I am not familiar with a lot of the other parts of Saint Paul. 

I definitely will keep that offer, thank you! 

Hello all! I am a new member to BP and have been reading through forums, discussions, webinars......so much rich information here!

I am a first time home buyer that is in the market for my first owner occupied duplex/triplex in the Minneapolis or Saint Paul area (more so, Saint Paul). I plan to buy more duplexes in the future also. Just looking to gain more information, resources, and connections through this process!
