I think that painting it Neon yellow to fix your problem was a brilliant idea.

"Minnesota law states that a landlord may enter a leased premises only for a business purpose and only after making a good-faith effort to give reasonable notice - and in cases of emergency.

I’ve tried to do stuff like this and it doesn’t seem to be worth the effort (or fees).

With this, I know a savvy investor will not willingly share the secret sauce; although, I am still searching for the first steps. 

You are wasting time and effort.

Finally, I charge a $500 administrative fee for the additional effort involved in setting this whole thing up.Example: I just picked up management of a 3bedroom/2bath home that would normally rent for $1,200 a month.

So you take what you spent on that 1 month of SEO out of your paycheck and you split the rest of that money in 2. 1 half continues paying for the SEO efforts, and the other half goes back into driving traffic to your site manually (and more and more am I leaning towards FB ads).Now you are set.

If the tenant is in contact and making an effort to catch up, the owners will usually allow them to continue the lease.  

But I will sleep better knowing I put forth the effort!

In the context of this post, I would suggest efforts outside of the manners of ejectment under NCGS Article 2A should be avoided.
