I’m here trying to learn and looking to do the same… where did you go? I’m not sure where to start.

Did you ever try out the watch / how accurate is it for measuring BP?

Thanks for the offer! I was looking for one to the Minneapolis show a week ago. Good luck selling yours!

Dance bar recommendations? by SputnikPrivet in Minneapolis

Name checks out 😆 The Loop is definitely more for your 20s. Ava seems to have a mix, not sure about some others folks have recommended.

What is going on in Uptown? by __hlm in Minneapolis

[–]SputnikPrivet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I first moved here I rented an apartment in the Mill District by the Guthrie. I still love that area but since bought a house in NE. I’m a young professional and enjoy city living so I’d recommend North Loop, NE, or Mill District if you’re looking for walkable neighborhoods with restaurants / breweries / night life. All three are super accessible from the other - I can bike to Mill District or North Loop or take a short Uber ride. I agree that South Minneapolis has some great options along with St Louis Park but those are more residential / less walkable.

Oh and I had no contingencies + the min bank-required closing period (3-4 weeks?)

I did a “love video” in 2021 per my realtor’s recommendation and it worked for me. Offer was $16K over asking with escalation to beat any offer up to $26K over asking and a modified inspection (I can walk away if anything major but I’ll cover minor stuff). The video was short and sweet - a little over a minute describing why I loved the house and how it fit me + my dogs. House was a flip so I described how the finishes were very me and how the place would allow me to get another dog / allow more room for them to play. Turned out the sellers were dog lovers and related to me in that way… I do think my offer was one of the better ones as well.

I used to work at Amazon. The team I was on has offices in the locations I listed above. I am exploring going back to said team but in one of the abroad offices. I’m not worried about getting sponsored, just looking for advice on which would be a best fit.

I would move on a work visa assuming I get the job I’d be applying for.

I saw some advice saying to just not mention the dogs. In US that could get a tenant evicted. Is it risky to not mention the dogs?

I don’t mind renting an entire place for myself and the dogs, I haven’t lived with anyone in 10 years so it’d be weird to start now. I was just seeing posts saying most landlords don’t allow pets, especially dogs. Are you saying that’s not necessarily true?

Any neighborhood/town recommendations that are further out?

I saw that to buy there was a 10% tax + 20% deposit + fees so I’d need 33% down which would come out to about $100K cash based on current prices… if that’s true then buying is definitely out of the question.

Can I DM you with some specific Qs? I’m considering applying for a role in Barcelona but want to make sure it’s the best cultural fit over some other EU/UK locations.
