Airbnb has a wonderful solution to co-managing this process but Homeaway/VRBO does not.

@Michael Weis - some lenders will actually get you as much as 80% depending on the loan program and whether it is recourse (i.e. you personally co-sign for the loan to your legal entity) or non-recourse. 

Most are in Mpls or St Paul, but you will find some first-tier suburbs with large duplexes.  3-4 plexes are as common as a Vikings Super Bowl outside of the two cities.Within 45 minutes of MSP airport: This will be no problem, everything is within 45 minutes of the airport, especially in multifamily.Areas with a small town/ neighborhood feel are a big plus: South St Paul would have this feel so would Stillwater but that is probably more than 45 minutes from the airport with any level of traffic or bad weather.

I would be coming up with a new plan :)But if I was back in the day where it was just me (and I wasn't as spoiled as I am now with running water/TV/Internet and electricity, I'd have a cot up in a room with an extension cord running a fan so I could sleep.So it all depends on your comfort level.
