Newbie Investor in Minnesota
Hello! My husband and I are beginning the stages of learning about real estate. We are preparing our house to turn it into a long term rental unit and plan to house hack a duplex or fourplex (along with our 4 kids 😜). We are unsure of which market we want to invest in yet and are in the research phase and learning how to calculate good properties. We are open to other ideas!
