Who handles the paperwork in Hermantown
Hermantown is in St. Louis County, the same county as Duluth. Deeds are recorded by the county Recorder, which keeps a searchable index the public can use, so the recording side looks just like a Duluth sale.
What is different for a landlord here
The Duluth license rules we cover on other pages are the City of Duluth's. We did not verify what Hermantown asks of a rental owner, so call city hall and ask before closing. Minnesota law reaches every Minnesota landlord, though. For example, after a sale a Minnesota landlord hands each deposit to the new owner or returns it, by 60 days or when the buyer must account to the tenant, whichever comes first.
The buildings and the tenants
Many Hermantown rentals sit on bigger lots than the ones in Duluth. Some are on a private well and a septic system instead of city water and sewer, and a buyer will ask about both. Keep any well log, water test, or pumping record you have. If you do not have them, say so, and we will work from what is there.
What we would ask you
Send us the address, whether it is city water and sewer or a well and septic, who lives there and on what lease, and any repairs you are putting off. A rough idea is fine for a first talk. We are based in Duluth, MN, and have no office in Hermantown, so we start by phone. We are the buyer you deal with, we own rental property around here ourselves, and the person who calls you back decides the number. It comes in writing with the math explained, and you choose the closing date.
