OUR STORY

Since 2017, we’ve been having honest conversations about what it really takes to build wealth through real estate in the Twin Cities. What started as two friends sharing investing tips has grown into a community of landlords, flippers, and buy-and-hold investors across the 7-county metro.

Each week, we break down strategies, analyze market trends, and interview local investors who are actually doing the work. No fluff, no get-rich-quick schemes—just practical advice from people who know the local market inside and out.

Whether you’re buying your first duplex or scaling to your 50th door, our goal is to give you the insights and connections you need to invest with confidence in the Twin Cities.
