Episode Summary
In TCREI Show #31, Tim and Adam return with the third installment in their multifamily data series — this time focused on suburban markets across the Twin Cities metro. The conversation covers what’s happening in the cities outside of Minneapolis and St. Paul proper, highlighting both surprising trends and notable gaps in the data.
They break down which suburbs have enough transaction volume to matter, where rent-to-price ratios are strongest, and which areas are underperforming despite their reputations. The episode also includes a 10-year retrospective on suburban sales price appreciation, helping investors better understand how these markets have changed — and how they stack up today.
If you’re investing in suburban multifamily or considering it, this is essential listening.
