It's a growing market out there but not popular enough for a lot of cash buyers to flock to especially if the property requires work.  

Its becoming a popular tenant amenity as well 

Would love to get insights on where's good areas to rent for a first time mover in MN as a young single professional.I am landlord downtown Minneapolis (North Loop), you wont fine much in the $1,500 range, maybe some micro apartments that have become popular. 

It spits out either very disappointing numbers in areas I think would be popular, and in some cases, spits out high numbers in areas I don't think would be successful at all.

Also you pretty much need to have charger at your home were you park every night without it cant see how these vehicles would be practical.. unless maybe like some of the employers here in the northwest they have plugs ins for free on their campus but as these cars become more popular those will get filled up . 

@Kay M.This is a popular strategy.

There are different schools of thought that you should proactively replace windows which can be pricey and the house might have passed any way, you can proactively paint with someone who is not a lead contractor which would save money on the painting but still may fail or could have been unnecessary, or you can test and roll the dice and deal with the consequences if you have lead. 

Particularily older neighborhoods which have the right homes and locations for remodelling, so I wanted to specifically know how popular rentals are in those areas and what the going rate is for.

Sr lender will be 70% of the capital stack, LPs will be 25%, GP will be 5% of the project.So for a $15mm property purchase, the lender would bring $10.5mm, you (the sponsor) would put in $750K and raise the other $3.75mm (plus any additional working capital, capex, etc).It will be hard for a first-time sponsor to find a single equity partner willing to write a $3-$5mm check.There are various ways to structure raising funds from multiple investors, a popular one being a Reg D syndication. 

One of my places is near (.9 mi), to a very popular downtown area, and my title says 'Less than a mile to downtown'.....Even with that, I've had a few (very few) guests say that it was not very close to downtown.So I'd be careful with the description.
