I am looking to connect with a local BRRRR investor in the metro area of Minnesota. I just Finished the BRRRR book by david green. Would love to connect with anyone and gain some knowledge.

Looking to connect with a section 8 investor in the twin cities area. I currently have one property with section 8 tenants. Looking to learn more and expand in the near future. 

I currently invest my rental income into a high yield savings account or a s&p 500 index fund. I would like other investors input or knowledge on what you do with your rental income? I only have two units so nothing extreme and my reason for investing the rental money is to save for next house-hack. I am currently exploring the mutual funds option as well, Does anybody invest into them, if so what ones?

I am currently looking on the mls houses to buy cash, is it best to try and get a hold of the seller, the broker, or have a real estate agent? 

Where is the best place to store money from tenants? should I invest that money into stocks, regular banking account, High yield savings account?

I recently bought a duplex with a section 8 tenant in the upper unit. Their lease ends in February but they have been there for 14 years and would like to stay. Am I allowed to go in and make changes to the lease when their lease is up? 

Hi everyone My name is josh (20 yrs old) and I am newer to real estate investing. I am under contract with a duplex set to close in the next 2 weeks That I am going to house hack. I bought the property for 230,000 with 5% conventional loan.

There is a long term section 8 tenant of 14 years living in the upstairs unit (2 bed, 1 bath, 600sqf) That brings in 1,200 a month with my monthly payment being 2,100. 

My plan- I will be living in the bottom unit and renovating it as i live in it to add value to the property. I want to live in it for a year and go buy another. I don't have a lot of capitol to go and put 20% down on another property in a year so what i would like others opinion on is that the upstairs unit needs renovating and if i do renovate it i can refinance and pull the equity out of the house to buy another. the tenants lease ends in feb. next year and will go up another 100$ and would like to stay, the property makes good numbers with it being the way it is and will cashflow even if i do nothing and put a tenant in the unit i am in after a year but then I most likely wont have enough capitol for another property. Is there a way to fix the unit with the tenant still in it? Do I just fix it up after their lease is up and wish them the best of luck? Stuck on what I should do And would like others opinions and expertise.

Thank You for reading and helping!

My name is josh I am a new investor. I have an up/down duplex under contract and will most likely buy with 5% conventional. There is a section 8 tenant of 14 years upstairs and wants to stay. I plan on fixing up the property trying to add value, especially the unit I will be living in while I am there Because I can do most things myself. The upstairs unit needs a full remodel and the section 8 tenants lease ends in February. I want to refinance down the road but have to fix up the upper unit to do so. So I guess What I am asking for is what is the best way to go about this? 

Thank you. I can give more info if willing to help.
