New Member looking to invest in Minneapolis/Saint Paul Minnesota

[TJ Sinn]

Hi all, 

I am a new member to biggerpockets and extremely excited to join the team! As the subject line says, right now I am looking to start investing in the Minneapolis/Saint Paul area in Minnesota. 

A little background of myself, I am a public accountant who works in Transfer Pricing in downtown Minneapolis. I finished school at the University of St. Thomas last fall, and completed my CPA exams last spring. Right now I have been working and saving money for a down payment on my first house. I am looking at purchasing a multi-family house in the Saint Paul or Minneapolis area. I am looking more so anywhere south of 94. 

I was curious if there are any investors who would have advice for me starting out, what to look for in the Minnesota market, and how to make sure that I am finding a good deal in the house I purchase. I have read a few real estate books, and am actually reading Brandon's book "The Book on Rental Property Investing: How to Create Wealth and Passive Income Through Smart Buy & Hold Real Estate Investing" right now. 

If anyone who has experience in the area would have time to talk and give me insight for what they have learned that would be great! Thanks for taking the time to read my post, and hopefully we will connect sometime soon!
