@Suzanne Griffiths where exactly is your rehab in Chanhassen? I honestly haven't really looked into Chanhassen for commercial or multi-family so I would love some advice. Have you done rehabs in Chan before?

@Maggie L. We have very similar stories. I became chronically ill roughly six years ago and spent about two years at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester. I now feel more driven than ever and I truly believe the experience will help me in the future. RE is definitely a good industry to be a part of when dealing with an illness.

@Maggie L. I am hoping to invest near Chanhassen. I am currently looking at a commercial building in Hopkins and also a few properties Waconia, MN. St. Cloud is a great place. We have a family cabin on Lake Sylvia near Annandale so I know the area well. Did you ever work the real estate market in Minnesota?

Thank you for the advice Maggie. That was a very helpful answer!

I am a new investor and have recently finished my real estate agent courses online. I am hoping to buy a few properties over the next 6-12 months and was curious if it is beneficial for me to actually go out and get my license? Why or why not? Also, if I were to go and get my license, are there brokers who are willing to hold an agent's license when that agent is only planning on doing their own personal deals?

Hi everyone! 

I am Bobby Mason, a new member from Minnesota. I am so excited to learn from everyone on Bigger Pockets. I have been looking through the forums and the different comments for the last several weeks and I am shocked at how willing everyone is to help each other.

I just joined Bigger Pockets because I love Real Estate. I just graduated from college and have run several businesses over the past 6 years that hopefully helps increase my ability to do real estate investing. I have finished all of the courses and tests to become a licensed real estate agent but have not currently found a broker.

The last thing I wanted to mention is that I hope to own 10-20 income producing properties in the next 10 years. This may appear to be a lofty goal but I am hoping with some advice from all of you and hard work I can accomplish this dream. I am currently hoping to do one or two deals over the next 6-12 months. I have been looking into both commercial and multi-family properties, but still know very little about both industries.

I can't wait to hear everyone's advice!
