Newbie couple in the Twin Cities/ Minneapolis / St. Paul area
Recently moved back from California to MN where we’ve lived the past 4 years. While there, we had some luck renting out our townhome (that we’ve moved back into). Interested in exploring owner- occupied duplexes around metro area. Specifically looking South Minneapolis or Sunmit/Selby/Grand/Lowertown area of St. Paul but we are open to anything.
Eager to listen to all advice! Thanks in advance!

Hey @Maggie Hanjani,
Welcome back to Minnesota!
Owner-occupying (often called "house hacking") is a great way to accumulate equity while experimenting with landlord life.
I wholesale properties through the Twin Cities, would be happy to help you find deals Realtors don't know about.
