At our REMAX team, many of our licensed agents are real estate investors themselves, and their experience and knowledge work for you as you look for investment properties and MLS listings for you. Here are some tips for evaluating investment opportunities:

  • Get the Facts Before You Invest – Whether you're just getting started in real estate investing or already have a portfolio of properties, accurate information is essential. Our top REMAX team, led by founder Ryan O'Neill, conducts a series of monthly seminars to help real estate investors get the information they need about the ever-changing housing market here in Minnesota. Attending these free seminars can give you a great start.
  • Work One-on-One With an Expert – Many of our REMAX agents specialize in real estate investing. They'll work with you, individually, answer your questions, help you locate attractive properties, and work with you as a mentor. If you're serious about investing in real estate or simply wanting to plug in with a resource to learn more, we'd love to work with you.
  • Locate Properties that Match Your Goals – Using our search tool to find potential properties listed with participants of Northstar MLS MN, you can establish criteria for your property search that match exactly what you're looking for, from foreclosed and REO homes to multi-unit residential and commercial properties. Target specific areas, specific types of properties and preview multiple listings. As agent members of Northstar MLS, our team's agents have full access to the Minnesota MLS and will be happy to conduct targeted searches for you.
  • Evaluate Every Property Carefully – Since a large proportion of properties of interest to real estate investors will require some rehabilitation work, careful evaluation of each property can make a huge difference in your return on investment. Our investment real estate specialist agents can help you spot problems that could turn a great deal into a disaster.
  • Get Expert Help with Making Purchases – For REO and short sales especially, negotiating skills are crucial for success. Our investment property specialists are expert negotiators and understand the complexities of dealing with lender-owned MLS listed properties.
  • Establish Long-Term Relationships – Investing in real estate is a long-term process, so working with people you know and trust is an important factor in investment. Our REMAX agents are able to serve our clients effectively and professionally.
