Investing in Edina

Edina's prices ask an investor to be precise. I'm Lesley, a REALTOR® with Bridge Realty.

What do investors buy in Edina? Often condominiums near Centennial Lakes and Southdale, where the purchase price is lower than a house. Others buy an original home to update. Each has its own risks.

If you are considering a condominium

  • Rental limits. Some buildings cap the number of units that may be rented.
  • The budget and reserves. A weak reserve can lead to a special bill.
  • Dues. In some buildings they include heat or other utilities, which changes your math.
  • Financing. Lenders review the building as well as you.

If you are considering a house to update

Price the work before you offer, and compare the finished value with recent sales of updated homes in the same neighborhood. Ask the City of Edina what it requires to rent out a home, including any license, inspection, and fees, before you make an offer.

The numbers to run on any rental are on our investment property page. For more on the city, see our Edina page and buying a home in Edina. If you own a rental here and want to sell, see what it is worth.
