New Investors in Rockford, Minnesota!

[Ben Davis]

Hi everyone! 

My wife and I are new investors in the western end of the Twin Cities, currently residing in Rockford. We are renting an apartment but we plan to buy a small multifamily property to house hack in. We hope to find one in the west side of the cities.

I've purchased and read/listened to several of the books mentioned in Brandon Turner's list of books he recommends reading. I feel I have a slight grasp on rental property investing and managing and am excited to test my knowledge! 

Anyways, I hope we can find something to kick off our real estate investing journey! I also hope I can stay active in this community and be quick to turn to the well educated group that makes up this forum space. I look forward to any feedback and support from you!

With much appreciation for you all,

Ben Davis

Welcome BP, this is most likely one of the best decisions you could have made! I think your idea of house hacking a multi is superb. That is by far one of the best ways to get into Real Estate (it's how I did). Not only do you get part or all of your mortgage paid for but you also get the hands on experience of being a landlord and all that entails. 

I am excited for both of you, best of luck and don't be shy about posting in the forums.
