Issues and considerations for Duplexes in NE MPLS?

[Jem Thompson]

Greetings MPLS BP community! I recently moved to the Twin Cities and I am currently looking into Duplexes in NE Minneapolis for some version of a rehab+house hack. I've been diving into the due-diligence on the NE housing/rental market and I am starting to get a lay of the land, but I would love to hear from anyone with more experienced in this particular area on any major 'gotchas' to be on the lookout for as I'm dialing in my search. 

Things like common issues with the older housing stock in the area, what inspections are absolutely necessary, and experience renting in the area would all be greatly appreciated! Replies here are great, but if you're interested I'd love to buy any experienced investors a beer/coffee and chat. 

Thanks in advance!
