Military Offutt Omaha investing

[Chas Lumley]

Hey everyone, I'm stationed at Offutt and my wife and I are looking to buy several small multifamily properties (2 to 4 units). I have already used my VA loan and my wife is not interested in househacking or moving to use it again.

I'm looking for any advice or strategies for the local area (Omaha, Bellevue, Plattsmouth, Blair, Gretna and Lincoln). 

I have an agent sending me properties and I have ran the numbers on dozens of properties, but the crazy high taxes and insurance have killed every deal I've analyzed.  I'm still running the numbers on properties every day, but I was wondering if anyone had other suggestions, or tips for investing out of state into a better market. 

All feedback is appreciated. Thanks!
