I don't remember entirely as I picked that part up from the free landlord seminar the city of minneapolis puts on every month and the one I went to was quite a while ago.

i found it the best way to get to know a contractor.Then ask to see an ongoing project he has, if not ask before and after photos, the SOW and even if he can some invoices will be great.The last thing is your filing, if over the phone you feel like you do not have a good conversation move on.if your flip is in Minneapolis i have a good one there DM me. i

My other rental is in an attractive neighborhood in Minneapolis and has been a breeze.This low income rental has been quite a bit more work.

Can anyone recommend a CPA who specializes in Tax Real Estate for the Minneapolis, MN area?  

Hello all,I'm Dylan from Minneapolis, MN.

Newish washer / dryer, both high end3-season porchBig deck, nice back yard, fire pitQuiet cul-de-sac with a park at the end (very rare for the city it's in)Public transportation on the corner to just about anywhere in the metro with transfers2 - 3 minutes from multiple major highways / freewaysWalking distance (or close to it)to major mall (Southdale) and premium shopping (Galleria in Edina, MN)Potential marketing points / targets:The home is < 2 miles from the Best Buy HQ, and public transport goes straight thereAbout 10 minutes from MSP airportAbout 10 - 20 minutes from downtown Minneapolis, Mall of America, and most major concert or event venues in the city, and just a few minutes more from all of the same in Saint PaulEasy access to the west suburbs, which means access to things like Hazeltine GC (regular host to major golf tournaments, like the Ryder Cup this past year)Minnesota / Twin Cities are home to 17 Fortune 500 companies (http://www.twincities.com/2017/02/06/minnesota-has...)I totally expect making this a vacation rental to mean it will take more of my time, and not necessarily a trivial amount.

In Minneapolis I see a little less traffic during the winter but I keep it cheap and still get people.I've been out of town for a month and there's two people I've never even seen in there right now.

Minneapolis has lowest vacancy rate in the nation. 

Generally, Minneapolis gets higher rents than St.

I think because it is my primary residence I do get an advantage on the property tax.By law (in my current city, which is a suburb of Minneapolis), I have to convert the place to a rental, for which the city charges a one time fee of $500.
