Advice on buying in North Omaha

[Cory Bogler]

Hello Everyone,

I am looking at buying my first rental property. I have chosen the Omaha/CB area because I am originally from the area and still have family. It only made sense that my first property be close to people I trust as I am living in San Diego, CA. I have been looking around for some time and most of the properties that work with my budget are in the North Omaha area. Growing up, North Omaha always had a bad rap and because of that I have been hesitant to purchase in that area. My question for the BP Omaha community, is North Omaha a good area to invest in? Are there any parts you would look to avoid? I saw an investor mention Benson area as his focus which is neighboring to North O. I would love to hear some opinions from investor that may know the area better.

Anyways, I have always heard BP forums are full of people willing to help so I thought I would give it a shot.

Thank you,

Cory
