Starting out in the Twin Cities

[Massimo Wongbi]

Hello All,

I am new to real estate investing & learning as much as I can. I do have some money saved up and not sure if proceeding with auctions or distressed properties is a good way to begin. Any advice or recommendations will be highly appreciated. 

Thanks.

I don't recommend starting out that route unless you are experienced and/or have a lot of capital reserves. I recommend house hacking, putting down 3.5% and then focusing on completing a BRRRR! What market are you targeting, that will also depend on my recommendation for strategy!
