I don't know much about the Minnetonka area, but I do know it is right outside of Minneapolis.  

Looking to connect with local commercial agents in Minneapolis and Des Moines markets.

Where in Minneapolis have you been investing?

The only real solution I can see is to spend the money to take many of the properties owned by holdouts via eminent domain, and simply bulldose entire blocks and even entire neighborhoods.I actually wrote a thesis on urban homesteading programs, with an emphasis on that in Minneapolis, MN.  

I am from Minneapolis and would love to invest there but stay in Iowa as rent rates are the same as up there but properties are $50k-$100k less here.

I have 3 duplexes and 1 Quad in Minneapolis; it's time to formalize a bit and streamline processes. 

I have a cousin in law who is a Real Estate Attorney in the Minneapolis area, so I'll certainly be digging into her wealth of knowledge.

Hello,I am fairly new to Minneapolis, and am diving into the pre-foreclosure business.
