@Hudson Filippi What part of Northern MN do you live in now?

I'd level up with a BRRRR, live-in flip, or house-hack before jumping into a challenging renovation.

I am looked at by the loan officer as living in a situation rent free. 3.

I live in Fl. where insurance is pretty costly but I am also investing in states where insurance seems less expensive.

I'd buy where you live (within an hour or so) for your 1st investment!

Additionally if you are deeding the property you live in to an LLC you may lose the homestead exemption which could actually increase your taxes. 

Hey Jack,I'm currently living in R.I and I grew up in MA.
