Hey Lindsey—congrats on getting your first rental under contract! That’s a huge milestone!

My wife and I also live on the west side of the Twin Cities. While we haven’t specifically invested in the Duluth/North Shore area yet, it’s definitely a market we’ve considered. We typically look at properties with 10+ units as well as unique assets like campgrounds, and we’re always on the lookout for others to connect and possibly collaborate with.

Would love to chat—especially since we’re both operating here in Minnesota.

Personally, I see it as a value add. It used to be included on a lot of our auto insurance policies but many companies have gone away with it to keep costs down. This would offer an alternative and it can set you apart from other competing rentals.

Hey Willie, I live about an hour west of Minnetonka. Send me a DM!

What are your favorite business or mindset books? Personally, I love anything by Robert Kiyosaki, with "Rich Dad Poor Dad" being the first of his books that I read. I also really enjoy Zig Ziglar's "How to Stay Motivated" series. These books have helped me develop the mindset and balance needed to achieve my full potential. They're also my go-tos whenever I'm feeling self-doubt and need a boost.

Hey Brian, I am located in central Minnesota and always looking to connect with other investors. My preferred markets are in Iowa (Des Moines, Cedar Rapids), and Minnesota (Fargo, or Minneapolis/Suburbs) if either of these markets are of interest to you feel free to send me a dm!

I'm primarily looking to invest in Midwest markets. Primarily Minneapolis Suburbs in Minnesota, and Des Moines, Iowa. Because of the stability and growth those markets have been showing but also both markets are close to my home which is an important factor to me

It’s not just about sharing good news—it’s about being honest about the challenges too. Prioritizing transparency helps build stronger, more resilient relationships with investors.

How do you keep your investors informed? Newsletters, mail, emails, texts, phone calls?

Congratulations! Awesome to hear!

For me personally, I find a tremendous amount of value in going through programs that help me learn at a much faster rate then what I could on my own as well as help me mitigate risk/self doubt. Unfortunately, there are some bad programs out there that offer little value.
