Land in MN?

[Lue Yang]

I am about to graduate college and will finally get a good job. My family lives in MN, but I will not be living in MN for the next 5-6 years. However, I'd like to consider buying land here as an investment. Anyone know anything about buying land in MN, preferably closer to the twin cities? Is it profitable? Where should I look for land? What can I do with that land? Any other advice? Thanks!
