		<description><![CDATA[If you plan on buying a duplex in Minneapolis &#8212; or any other location, there is one word you must have in your vocabulary.
And that is the word, &#8220;No&#8221;.
Most duplex investors I work with seem to be comfortable with that word when it comes to buying a property that doesn&#8217;t work for them due to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A new duplex investor and owner occupant recently asked if she could refuse to rent to a prospective tenant because her intuition told her something wasn&#8217;t right.
Unfortunately, state and federal law require duplex owners to a factual reason to disqualify an applicant for a rental unit.
Federally, this logical reason cannot be due to: race, color, national origin, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I recently received an irate phone call from a Minneapolis duplex owner&#8217;s tenant, informing me he no longer had to pay rent, as the property was in foreclosure.
Like him, many tenants living in pre-foreclousre duplexes mistakenly believe they are no longer obligated to pay rent.
But this is not the case!
Minnesota law states the duplex owner, regardless of his [...]]]></description>

It reminded me just how important it is to be crystal clear with duplex tenants before they move in as to what you will accept as being clean when they move out.
I hadn&#8217;t been with this one.
As a result, I got to do things like [...]]]></description>

After all, what if a buyer wants to live in one of the units?
My answer?
Of course!

Like attract buyers.
And tenants.
It seems the 2.7 percent vacancy rates in the cities of Minneapolis and St Paul have people looking for help finding a place to live. So they&#8217;re calling any residential income property related sign they see.
Well, mine anyway.
While vacant rental units are often listed [...]]]></description>

I wish there was a scientific formula. However, I happen to think non-scientific web sites like Craigslist, Oodle and Hotpads, are a great place to start.

		<description><![CDATA[The recent tornado in north Minneapolis reminded me of how important it is that duplex owners encourage their tenants to get renter&#8217;s insurance.
While the damage to a duplex or apartment building itself is covered under the owner&#8217;s insurance policy, coverage for the tenants belongings is their responsibility.
Many tenants not only don&#8217;t know this, but if [...]]]></description>

What do I mean?

		<description><![CDATA[There are two types of duplexes; those where the tenants pay the utilities and those where the landlord does.
And because two comparable properties cash flow differently because of the expenses, each, of course, has a different value.
Many times the reason a duplex owner pays for all of the electric or gas in a building is [...]]]></description>
