Buying/Investors

Rentals, duplexes, and flips — with the numbers run honestly.

We'll model the deal with you and tell you when it doesn't work. Investors come back to us because we say no.

What we tell every investor

Four things to know before you start.

Run the numbers before the showing

Rent comps, taxes, insurance, vacancy, and maintenance. If it doesn't cash-flow on paper, it won't in person.

Duplexes are the Twin Cities sweet spot

Minneapolis and the first-ring suburbs have deep 2–4 unit inventory. Owner-occupy one side and let the other pay the mortgage.

Know the rental rules

Minneapolis and St. Paul have licensing, inspection, and tenant-protection rules. Suburbs vary. We'll flag them.

Flips need a margin, not a hope

Purchase, rehab, carry, and sale costs — with a buffer. We'll tell you what the exit price really is.

How it works

Five stages. You'll always know which one you're in.

1

Strategy call

Buy-and-hold, BRRRR, flip, or house-hack. Your capital and your timeline.

2

Deal criteria

Price range, unit count, condition, and the return you need. We only send what fits.

3

Analyze together

We run the numbers on each candidate with you before anyone drives anywhere.

4

Offer and inspect

Contractors and inspectors who understand rentals.

5

Close and repeat

Property managers, lenders for the next one, and a saved search that keeps working.

Questions we hear

Straight answers.

Do you help with financing for investment property?

We'll connect you with lenders who do DSCR, conventional investor, and portfolio loans.

What returns are realistic here?

Cash-on-cash in the mid-single digits is common for turnkey; higher with value-add. We'll show you real deals, not projections.

Can I house-hack?

Yes — buy a duplex, live in one unit, rent the other. Owner-occupied financing makes the numbers work.

Do you manage properties?

No, but we'll introduce you to managers our clients use.

Ready when you are.

A first conversation costs nothing and commits you to nothing.
