I prefer to stay further from the coast and hopefully further from major storm/flooding events (potentially lower insurance costs).  

It may not get the number of wind/hail storms like TX does, but when the storms do hit in MN, they're usually very large systems, and produce awful hail damage. 

Purchase price: $145,000 Cash invested: $60,000 Finding a move-in-ready home that offers modern upgrades and country charm can be challenging—but this fully renovated 4-5 bedroom, 2-bathroom ranch is the perfect solution.

Also, don’t stress about making your first deal perfect.

Some high and lowlights:- I had one tenant that brought German cockroaches in and then blamed it on me- Same tenant asking if her daughter can visit but failed to mention it was 5 more very noisy people- another tenant having constant loud arguments with his gf- tenant saved some of my stuff when the house flooded due to a pipe burst and another time during a monster rain storm.

Fire hydrants, sewer, water, road access, electric, flood way or plain, storm pond, storm sewer, setbacks, fencing, soil compaction, lot sizes, etc.3.  

When doing them, it is best to be in and out as quickly as possible and preferrable during the storm "off-season".

In real estate there is no perfect deal or perfect market.
