Twin Cities area want to get started in Real Estate investments

[Jason Schaffer]

I’m really unhappy with my job and want to do something different. 

Moved up to the Twin Cities over a year ago and wish I could get involved in real estate investments. I’ve been kind of obsessed with rehabs and flips and I spend a lot of time learning and watching videos.

I’ve been in touch with some real estate groups that are always trying to pitch something that feels like a pyramid scheme. 

I have a general idea what I need to do but I’m not sure how to do it. I know I need a lender, a realtor, staging and economical workers. I’m willing to take risks but I would feel better if I could partner with someone who had strengths where I lack and visa versa.

Would something like REI help me connect with people? Any suggestions?

Thank you.
