Hello, my name is Hunter Emond and I’m soon making the move to North Dakota to live with my girlfriend who’s in the military. I currently live in Massachusetts where I have my master plumbing license so I’ve always been around construction. My girlfriend and I will soon be turning 24 and our first property hopefully will be a 1-4 unit. We plan on house hacking it so it will set up the next deal and so on. If you have any tips about house hacking or real estate in general it would all be appreciated!

Here is another in Fargo, ND

Hello everyone,

Wondering if a few of you can help me work this through. I am new to real estate (zero properties, currently a renter myself). I am currently using the FIRE strategy to become financially independent. I am on pace to achieve that in six years and join the millionaire club two years after that. I would like to expand into real estate to further that objective but my primary motivation is that I'm bored with my W2 job and need a bigger challenge. I don't hate my job, it's just too easy for me after doing it for 20 years.

I have $50K in savings (separate from 401K / investments) that I could use to start but my wife's motivation is to purchase a house for our family. I'm not interested in paying inflated prices for a primary residence at the moment and would rather invest the money into a rental property that cashflows.

I know this is a weird question given the audience I'm asking. Is it worth getting into real estate to meet our financial independence objective even though we're going to make it in 6 years anyway without the headaches of dealing with tenants?

Appreciate your thoughts.

@Trevor Schmitt Hello! I'm an apartment investor out of MN. We have a portfolio of market rate and affordable properties in MN, expanding into IA as well, I'll shoot you a message, love to connect.  

@Austin Elm I'd love to learn about your MHP in SD! I'd love to find one in MN, SD, ND or IA

Hello! I'm always looking to connect and network with like-minded investors and industry pros. My husband and I own a few rentals in Northern MN (all long term and one mid-term). We are working on getting our first STR up and running after just getting our conditional use permit!

By day, I run a real estate team in the Twin Ports, Duluth - MN area  - Kuschel Realty Group.

My husband went to NDSU and we have enjoyed a few weekends/outings in Fargo, but we haven't been back to in a few years. Are your STRs in the Fargo area? Would love to connect with you and learn more about how your STRs are performing!
