My initial thought is to purchase a multi-family home in the UWSP neighborhood. 

You can have family money. 

If the Minnesota market has duplexes or 2-4 multi-family units, this could be a great way to get started.If you already own a home, then I would say to do some research on the top places around the country to invest in and build a team and a network of experts in that area. 

Unfortunately, as a lender I find most people only look to buy when they absolutely have to, often it's when they have a growing family and don't want to rent out other rooms, or live in a one unit of a mult-family unit.

I'm new here and I would love to be part of the family.

Commercial is for business purposes.In most zoning, you have residential, multi-family or apartments, and commercial, but apartment use is not the same as commercial. 

Here is the lowdown:Purchased an investment single family home 2bed/1bath in North Park that was well under market value due to repairs needed and being built in 1928. 

My plan is to purchase single family homes and rent them out using the BRRRR method.
