Twin Cities First-Time Investor Workshop: No Gurus, No Courses, Just the Math

What this is

A free in-person workshop for Twin Cities residents who want to understand how rental property investment works before deciding whether it is right for them. Every session covers the same core material: how a first acquisition is structured, what the cost picture looks like, how income and expenses interact, and what the process involves from start to finish. All figures are sourced from actual NorthstarMLS transaction data and presented for educational purposes only. Nothing is sold at the end, and there is no course to buy.

Who tends to show up

Homeowners in their 30s and 40s who are financially stable and curious. People who have thought about real estate investing but have not found a resource that treats them like an adult who can evaluate information and make their own decision. People who are done sitting through presentations that end with a pitch.
This session is not designed for wholesalers, flippers, or experienced investors. It is specifically for someone considering their first investment property who wants a clear and honest look at how the process works.

What you will leave with
A clearer understanding of how rental property investment works in the Twin Cities, what a typical first acquisition involves, and what questions you should be asking before you take any action. All content is presented as an educational illustration based on current market data and not as a projection or guarantee of future performance.
