Where do I start;  how do I find the right properties; what to look out for; what outlets do you use to ensure you don't pay too much for a property; what strategies should people in their mid-40's use to maximize the probability of success and profitability; etc., etc., etc...

The good news - there are plenty of family-friendly neighborhoods between St Paul and S Mpls which offer decent opportunities for a househacker - you just need to know where to look, what to avoid, and where the opportunities are (undervalued properties, under rented units, value-add opportunities).
