The Minnesota Department of Transportation and the Minneapolis Public Works Department are presenting plans to create a new off ramp from I-35W South exiting onto East Hennepin Avenue via either Lincoln Street or Buchanan Street.

Who do you call when your Investment Property is on Fire?
That is easy—911…but who do you call when you are on the beach in Acapulco and the water heater at your investment property dies? Or more importantly, who do your tenants call when the water heater dies and you are out of cell phone range? Do you have a plan and/or people in place so [...]

What to do if your tenant won’t leave!
You decide to not renew your tenant’s lease for any number of good reasons (noise complaints, consistently late payments, dirty apartment, etc).

What type of Flip are you doing?

How to Become a Real Estate Investor
It seems so clear now that I have been an investor for many years, but I can remember how intimidating it was trying to figure out where/how to get started. It felt like being a freshman on the first day of high school. Just like any new experience/hobby/job/change, you just need to get started. Secondly, [...]

Advertising your rental units
As I take on new investment property customers, one of the early questions is: “Where do you find tenants?”. As with most other questions, I usually say “It depends”. The neighborhood in which the property is located often has a lot to do with your advertising technique.
