Episode Summary
In TCREI Show #17, Brad Schaeppi joins us for a wide-ranging conversation on all things Minnesota landlord law. Brad is a full-time attorney, landlord, father, former city council representative, and fifth-generation Minneapolitan — giving him a rare and valuable perspective on real estate policy, practice, and legal process.
This episode is a deep dive into the evolving legal landscape for landlords in Minnesota, Minneapolis, and St. Paul. We cover screening, evictions, local renter protections, and how school districts and neighborhood shifts influence long-term portfolio strategy. Even in two hours, we barely scratched the surface.
Brad shares a wealth of resources, legal clarity, and real-world insight that every landlord or aspiring investor should hear. If you manage rental property in the Twin Cities — or plan to — this is a must-listen.
