Minneapolis Rental Property Owners Workshop

I have attended this event in the past and it is fantastic for any new landlord in Minneapolis. It is a great place to meet the Minneapolis Police, inspectors, and other Minneapolis landlords and talk about any issues your are having with your investment property, your tenants or neighbors.

Community Crime Prevention/SAFE of the Minneapolis Police Department and Minneapolis Housing Inspections are providing this workshop. Attending the workshop provides owners and managers with valuable information, resources and opportunities to network with other property owners. Workshop topics:

• The ABCs of property management
• Working with the Minneapolis Police Department
• Working with Housing Inspections
• Tenant behavior issues
• The risk of lead poisoning
• Hennepin County Housing Court / mediation
• Networking opportunities

The training and landlord guide provided by Community Crime Prevention/SAFE is intended to foster healthy and safe neighborhoods through property owner/manager involvement to reduce drug dealing and other illegal activity in the community. The materials and training should not be regarded as legal advice or considered a replacement for the property owner/manager’s responsibility to be familiar with the law. If you register and do not attend, you will receive the materials and a DVD on Hennepin County Housing Court instead of a refund.

Hi, Scott.

I am wondering if your readers are aware of the huge increase in Chapter 249 fees? Perhaps you would be interested in sharing this post at http://realestatetwincities.net/chapter-249/

Some are. Very frustrating. Just another way for the government to take money out of our pockets!

	Rental Inspections Challenged in Court(0) The Minnesota Supreme court overturned a lower court ruling this week that could hurt the many cities that are now requiring rental inspections. The case involves a Red Wing city ordinance that requires that all rental properties have on-site inspections performed by the city. Any landlord that was unwilling to allow the inspection was issued [...]

	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. I guess the theory was that you don’t want your tenants to know where you live. I suppose in case of a zombie apocalypse that would be [...]

	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.

	Burnin’ Down the House(3) So this is a new one for me. In the last 30 days, two different customers lost their rental properties to house fires! I swear I had nothing to do with it. One happened because of faulty wiring in the attic which caught fire. I passerby saw the smoke and called the fire department. No one [...]

	IRS Increasing Audits of Rental Property Owners(1) The IRS has just agreed with a study that says that they should be doing more audits of rental property owners. The study believes that many owners will under report their income on their taxes. In one part of the study it showed that in 2001, almost $12.4 billion was misreported to the IRS. Read [...]
