I am from the Minneapolis area and have lived here for 3+ years.  

I'm in the same position where i'm driving a TON lately.  6 hour round trip from Minneapolis, to Two Harbors once a week.  

We did fix it and then sold it for a surprisingly high price during the top of the market about 2 years ago in Minneapolis but in the end, probably broke even after all the repairs.

We have the Twin Cities market, which is the main metro-plex, Minneapolis Saint Paul and surrounding suburbs.

I live in the Minneapolis area and everything within 40 minutes of downtown Minneapolis is built up, with little room left for a new development of cheap housing.

Hey Tony,Where are you looking in Minneapolis?

Been working on a full scale renovation on a duplex in Minneapolis while working a day job ;)Curious what you think appeals most to the millennial renter?

If your planning on a upcoming future in the rental business.. thenJoin MMHA  Minneapolis Multi Housing Association it's tax deductible and great resource for leases, classes and have listings of contractors and vendors in the area.Don't ever open a can of worms verbally telling someone why they aren't someone your comfortable renting to, IT JUST DOESN'T MAKE SENSE !! 

My name is Alex Arseneau, I live in Lancaster County, PA but am originally from the Minneapolis, MN area and am new to BP.
