I do not know about MN; however, in many states the tenant can sue if the landlord disposes of those personal items without tenant's written consent.

Also with buildings essentially being disposable, and "reforming" only able to be done after 1990 something. does anyone have a plan for the investment when the usable life span begins to run out and vacancies begin to increase?

Right now I have 15k in disposable income, and zero debt (except for the rental property mortgage).

In those cases many will hold with long term debt until the cycle becomes favorable again to them to dispose of the asset.I am focused on transacting as much as possible over the next few years.

If you have a lot of time at your disposal – it would be worth it to try and build a team and find boots on the ground.

They aren't hurting balance sheet wise any more, so they will take their time foreclosing and disposing.  

The only photo I have right now is this one from the auction ad -We plan to paint inside & out, remove the garbage disposal, do some minor updates in the bathrooms, and trim up the bushes.

Roommates have their own issues and you certainly don't want your home ending up being a "frat" house with a bunch of 22 year olds with too much disposable income.My preference in the city areas are 2 bedrooms that rent for $700/mo+. 

These are all discretionary spending when there is no disposable income, people just bother with these gadgets.

All the other metrics are nice to make you feel good about your investment savvy, but ROE basically tells you how efficient you are with the assets you really have at your disposal TODAY:).
