As my wife is a realtor, we’ve helped several people from Bigger Pockets find their second home/STR.

My investments are all in the Twin Cities suburbs, but I have helped people with financing as far north as International Falls :) @Jeff Schemmel who do you know in the Duluth area?

I'm looking to network with people investing, selling, and rehabbing.  

So they would first payoff the first mortgage, if there is a second then $ goes to the second and if anything above that goes to any other lienholders or the homeowner.There are a lot of people who invest in 2nd mortgages because they are cheaper than a first, but in Ohio (not sure all counties) you have to pay off the first at foreclosure so if you do not have the money to pay off the first you are out of luck. 

I also hold a couple of real estate forums in the area for people like yourselves to connect with service providers, GC's, etc. 

Drywall installation and finishing is harder than most people think and whoever did that job - see the tape showing - didn't think too hard about it. 

See what a difference it will make for people to know you have 13 years in.

This is the fork where I'm not sure if I'd be good to get some CRE exp and invest in learning about how to review deals for the next 2-3 years, or focus on generating revenue for investment purposes and watch how things are done as a LP.My personality more aligns with networking, reaching out to people, connecting, navigating difficult situations and finding solutions that work.

thank you i hope to meet tons of people here!

I really feel this is helping people find affordable rentals.
