Minneapolis Investment Property Workshop

The City of Minneapolis, the Minneapolis Police Department’s Community Crime Prevention, and the Minneapolis Housing Inspections department are working together to put on a Rental Property Owners workshop in Minneapolis on Thursday, October 25, 2007. I have attended these events and found them to be a great resource even if you don’t own property in Minneapolis.

Investment Property owners will learn ways to keep their properties free of drug dealing and other illegal activity. Other topics presented include:

Working with the Minneapolis Police Department
Working with Minneapolis Housing Inspections
Tenant issues
Hennepin County Housing Court
Arbitration as an altermative to Eviction

This event is also a great opportunity to network with other Minneapolis Investment Property owners. To get a registration form, click here. The cost is $20 and includes a box lunch. The details and location for the event are:

Thursday, October 25, 2007
5-9 PM
St. Mary’s Greek Orthodox Church
3450 Irving Ave S
Minneapolis, MN

You must RSVP by Friday, Oct 19 by emailing ccpsafe@ci.minneapolis.mn.us or calling the message line at 612-673-2812. Plan to attend.

	PO Boxes & Landlords(1) I am not sure where this came from or who starting teaching it. I have heard many old-school landlords say that they use a PO Box for their rent checks.

	Minneapolis Occupancy Limits(0) For as long as I have owned properties in Minneapolis, I have always been confused by the occupancy limits per unit.
