If anyone actually gets metro area properties (not North Minneapolis) under contract at the 3% rule when most of us struggle to find 1% properties then I will for sure join in the mailing/texting campaign strategy.

My name is Ben Pehling and I'm from Minneapolis, MN where my wife and I just bought our first home and investment property (a duplex) in NE Minneapolis back in January.

Ideally I'm looking for a contractor that has experience working with older homes in NE Minneapolis.

Would love to know any ideas out of this situation - Just had our offer accepted on a duplex in Minneapolis under the assumption one of the units was going to become vacant before we closed.

I'm in Minneapolis.

@Hunter Heimer I’m not currently living in MN, however I am under contract for purchasing portfolio of 7 properties there by August 1st in the Minneapolis/St Paul area.

Yes, I am looking for large ranches 5,000 sq ft in Chicago & Minneapolis affluent suburbs.

My team is struggling to find deals in the Minneapolis metro where we're based right now, and I'm looking for suggestions on how to find more deals.Some fast facts about our team right now:-I'm the only cold caller.

I live in Minneapolis in the off-season (May - August) so this is where I would like to buy.

I live in Minneapolis, MN and am looking for advice on how to get started (how to find preforeclosure listings, how to read markets, who to contact to write up contracts, what title companies you use who are investor friendly, etc).
