Why Do You Invest in Minneapolis? (Testimonial for BP!)
BiggerPockets! I work at BP and I'm working on building a landing page for Minneapolis. Would anyone be willing to share why you choose to invest in the city? Why is it a great city for investors?

Minneapolis area is diverse economic area. The average vacancy rate for the 16 county metro area according the St. Paul Pioneer press is is about 0.4% (as of April 2019 2nd only to Akron OH). The variety of industries keep the area less prone to economic downturns. We have a diverse businesses community employing tenants with companies like Medtronic, Boston scientific, 3M, General Mills, Best buy, Target, Amazon, Us Bank, Ecolab, Mayo Clinic, and Cargill. There are still plenty of properties available at reasonable prices. Light rail construction is offering opportunities in various areas around the metro.
