Is this best approach? 

I got sold on the no money down approach back almost 10 years ago when I first started looking at REI. 

As a newcomer, I’m eager to learn and would love to hear from the seasoned experts in this community.If you were starting over today, how would you approach getting into commercial real estate in Minneapolis?

Building relationships with local business is still a very successful approach.

No issues with @Costin I. deciding Steadily wasn't your best fit but you're painting with a very broad brush to say their insurance is only for total losses or that they're systematically over-insuring their properties to keep deductibles high. 

Amazingly, it is apparently nearly impossible to get decent comps for this so I'm not sure how to approach figuring out whether to outright sell it (and for what price), fix it up as a rental, or market it as a knockdown for the land. 

That made all the stress and anxiety worth it... the difficult tenants/roommates, constant noise, roommate drama, and lack of peace and privacy.This approach reflects the balance between comfort and profitability that Craig Curelop discusses in his book, The House Hacking Strategy.

The improvements boosted its market value, leading to a successful sale at $65,000 on 8/21/2024, showcasing our strategic approach and effective project execution.

How do I approach a potential buyer/real estate investor or as they refer to them "cash buyers"?

Does this approach still work today in 2024 ?
