@Forrest Holden 1 months rent is typical in this market. I do know a good PM service that charges a flat rate but for a lot of properties it is actually more than 1 months rent. Thankfully in the minneapolis area it is super easy to place your own tenants as vacancy rates are so low you will usually have multiple people trying to rent your space.

@Connor Guinn I would dig into what the cost of holding it is. If you have months in the airbnb were you are vacant (december-february) and you are losing potentially $800/ month that is a concern to me. Also, have you factored in cleaning costs, repairs, vacancy in your $1,300 airbnb income? Do you have a property manager that will manage the short term and long term units? I do not know any that will do both (and do it well). 

Another thing to consider have you lived in the property for 2 years yet, or even 1 year? If you have not, consider capital gains tax in your equation for the buy VS sell. 


Obviously, at the end of the day this is an extremely personal choice so you will make the best decision for you. I do not think we have enough information to truly suggest one way or the other.

@Michael Teagarden if the property is on the MLS, more often than not it will not pencil out with todays rates. What I tell my clients is we need to also look at off market properties as well as look for value add properties. There are a lot of value add properties in the Minneapolis area. Doesn't always mean they pencil out tho. Also, a lot of new investors underestimate rehab budgets, rents and future value rents. Are you working with an agent that can do these estimates for you? I see a lot of new investors trying to do it themselves and their budgets are skewed terribly, their rents are off and their anticipated vacancy is off as well. Just some food for thought

If you are making a lot of money in your day job and you are looking for something to loose money then sure jump on it. The people who lost everything in '08 were banking on appreciation. If your investment is cash flow negative it is not an investment and instead a gamble
