Moving from Minneapolis to the Suburbs

Our first time home buyer clients were ready to dive into home ownership. Building equity while keeping their housing expenses within budget was appealing. Making the decision to buy was easy. A financial no-brainer. For this couple, choosing the location was a bit more difficult. One of them works in Minneapolis, while the other works in River Falls, WI. They have friends and family throughout the Twin Cities, so a central, first-tier suburb on the east side of town was ideal.
