There are programs for first time homebuyers.

You even have the ability to send your tenant's leases via e-signature and their monthly rent receipts electronically.In addition, you can house all of your management contact information within the program -- such as lawyers, contractors and handyman.

Quote from @Neil Clooney: Hi,Does anyone have any advice on real estate mentorship programs.

Then as people move out do the exact same thing to those units.You can get in with an FHA loan at 3.5% or a first time home buyer program. 

any free programs?

In Minneapolis, are there programs in place from non profits and the government to aid first time home buyers with costs?

The real estate market is constantly shifting, and most coaching programs are outdated.

The DSCR program "Must use the lesser of the two either common rent from the appraiser 1007 rent schedule form on the appraisal or the lease".You also have to factor in the taxes and insurance because a guesstimate or ball park can kill the approval.
