Moving to Omaha,where to invest?

[Christina Colon]

Currently got notified that my family and I will be moving to the Omaha NE area.(Military move). We are going to put our current home on the market for rent, and purchase again. I'm looking for some insight on the area and a knowledgeable realtor who could help. I would like to move in to the property and later turn it into a rental. Thoughts,advice, tips... I'm all ears. Thanks all!

@Christina Colon There are a lot of good areas to invest in the Omaha metro area. Of course it does depend what you are looking for and what type of property you want. In the city core you will tend to find homes built between 1910-1960ish. The city tends to get newer the further west you go from the Missouri river. Then in the outskirts and suburbs is where you will find the newer housing stock built 1980's ish through today. That includes Bellevue, Papillion, LaVista, Millard, Elkhorn, ect.  Like others have said it really depends what your goals are, there are still good opportunities here. I personally try to buy in the midtown Omaha area but thats just because I am most familiar with those homes and you can still get a good rent to purchase price ratio.
