@Mitchel Johnson Welcome to BP and I wish you the best in investing..Usually people start by going to local meetups and building a network of trusted people to get their feet wetHere is an examplehttps://www.meetup.com/find/?

Try some local small banks or look in the tools on BP

A quick google search reveals that Minneapolis provides assistance for first time home buyers so there seems to be a problem with funds for first time home buyers in your locale too.

It’s like giving the home a sense of place..a nod to local design traditions while still making it feel fresh.

In the old days you just hoped on the Intel shuttle  Intel had their own airline. and it ran out of the local hillsboro office.. now she has to go to PDX and go through security etc..

Binghamton was recently recognized as one of the fastest-rising markets for local home prices.

The best place for true private money is usually in your local meet-ups!

Looking forward to seeing your insights, and I'm sure you'll continue to inspire and guide others in their investing journeys.

These malls took out Mom/Pop local stores. 

Before you jump into some type of mentorship (that they usually want you to pay for), I would start doing some meetups in your area with local real estate investors.
