Are there any meet up events or REI investment groups in the Minneapolis/St.

I currently reside in Minneapolis and work as an analyst for an insurance brokerage firm.

Outer suburbs, exburbs, and bedroom communities will thrive or decline primarily depending on factors that affect commuters the most:- Availability of trains and transit to the employment centers- Price of oil and gas- Construction zone delaysIn the Minneapolis/St Paul Twin Cities metro, Minneapolis and parts of St Paul are gaining while the outer burbs are not appreciating.

Stabilized and well managed sites in my area (Minneapolis/Saint Paul) are scoring Cap rates of 6% and some investors are willing to invest at even lower cap rates.I would highly recommend not using Cap rates for single family homes.
