New Investor in the Twin Cities, Minnesota
Hello everyone!
My name is Tyler Jaros and I am a senior at the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul, Minnesota. I am studying Accounting and plan on going into public accounting after graduation.
Over the past few months, I have become interested in Real Estate Investing. Ideally, I would like to start in rentals. My first major goal is to buy a duplex in the Twin Cities within the next year. I would like to live in one side and rent the other side out to start. Is this a solid way to start as a first property investment?
I look forward to some responses and would love to connect with as many people in Minnesota to build relationships with and learn from. Feel free to contact me at anytime!
