Who should I know? Where should I buy?

[Thomas Morley]

Im based in California. My parents live in Woodbury, MN. Long term goals are to eventually invest in Minnesota... Who should I know in my network for when I plan to buy some properties out there??? also I like the idea of duplexes and triplexes in Minneapolis but im told there are bad areas to buy? I think everywhere is a good place to buy for the right price and cashflow. Thoughts on this?
