Happy to provide a crash course.

And by turnkey, either going through a turnkey provider company, or if you're in Minneapolis, I'd imagine there are local cash flow options, so you could just focus on finding a property that's in good turnkey condition so it requires less work.

They're so expensive, but I'm having trouble finding an insurance provider for short term rentals.

At these construction costs you will be relying on appreciation to provide a return.  

And this is an area where all levels of government can be helpful in providing the right incentives and programs.

I have some connections that provide funding for EMD and double closes, lmk if you'd like an intro!

Thanks for any advice you can provide to this newbie. 

This 2nd auction provides an opportunity for the property to be sold for "market value" so that the owner does not lose their property for less than the market value.

Any locations that may fit my budget and provide a decent return?

It will also kill a lot of agents who were dependent on 3rd party lead providers for their business.
