Hi, welcome to BP.I do not invest in MN, but wanted to provide a couple of thoughts from my own investing.

Updated all the mechanicals, designed a brand new commercial space, and remodeled the residential apartments.

However, depending on your loan type, if you put less than 20% down, you may have PMI (private mortgage insurance) which will make your monthly payment higher by up to a couple hundred dollars.

Single Room Occupancy (SRO) or PadSplit / CoLiving are able to make a ton of income, especially if you modify the house with a couple extra bedrooms. 

Hello, I'm planning on purchasing property in the next couple of months.

Congrats on growing your portfolio so quickly—that’s amazing progress in just a couple of years!

Quote from @James Brand: Not having issues, but since Stessa ultimately is the tool I use to manage my books it seems like a natural connection would be an accountant familiar with the tool.

Couple buddies of mine from the Bay Area ended up investing near Sacramento (better price points than the bay). 

Once you have closed a couple of deals, start thinking about developing your own playbook.
