Hello BP,
I am looking at switching jobs in the near future and right now it looks like it might be between 2 jobs, one would be near Saint Louis MO and the other near Omaha NE. Since I ultimately want to make real estate a large part of my portfolio, I want to consider the location for investing long term when I accept another job. Right now, I am still new and have not made any purchases yet but am hoping to once I have a more stable job location.
If you were choosing between STL or Omaha, which would you pick and why (or why not)?
Any input that the community has would be great! Benefits/drawbacks, population growth, potential appreciation, strategies, best investing areas, price/rent ratios, job types in the area, etc.

My unbiased opinion would be Omaha:)
Ok, maybe it’s a little biased. But, I do love this city. We have a stellar rental market and slow growing appreciation. This may not be everyone’s ideal recipe, but if/when markets drop, I enjoy the minimal disruption here.

68105 has some areas I wouldn’t hesitate to invest in. Close to the end center, downtown, midtown, and other desirable areas. As with most places, there may be pockets of area that differ from each other. I manage all my own stuff, so have never really researched other companies.

Omaha is great! Let me know if you have any questions about it! You definitely want a local on the ground if you’re investing from out of state, since the neighborhoods are so different.
I live in Omaha and I have family in St. Louis... Omaha 100%. St. Louis is one of the most dangerous cities, and Omaha is one of the safest. St. Louis just has too many problems in my opinion.
