Why Can’t I Get an Offer Accepted?
For about 60 days now, I have been incredibly frustrated. Every day I show properties or put in offers on properties only to find out that they were sold yesterday. I had a property this week that had been on the market only a couple hours. My customer saw it and we put in an [...]

Cost of Minneapolis Evictions Increasing
I have written about evictions often in the past. It is a necessary part of being a landlord. It is neither pleasant nor often fruitful, but necessary. As I was down at the Hennepin County courthouse today filing several evictions (one for me and one for a customer of mine), I was told by the [...]

Stupid Property Repairs #12
I have been collecting some interesting pictures over the last 30 days. I haven’t found one house that was completely stupid, but a one or two in several houses. Here we go:
