I assume your REO is in California, but if it's in an area with a temperate climate you would have to consider what to do if the property is winterized and/or the utilities have been shut off.

(Oh yah, the political climate.) ;-)I agree with everything you're saying, and it could be my pet peeve too, but I gave up trying to argue with other people about where the "center line" is relative to San Francisco and Sacramento.And finally, you're talking to a guy in south Orange County -- do you really think I want northern California to be part of southern California!!??

Just be aware that we are entering a 70ish year cycle of North East coast storms climate wise.

So, as a result it only took about a month before I realized that this "disorder" he had was indeed quite severe.  

The implication is that insurance premiums will increase on account of climate change, and it will become quite difficult to find insurers (as it already has in FL)-  spooking potential buyers and thus lowering the value of real estate.

We can’t turn a blind eye and pretend the political climate is not a factor when it comes to the average consumer.

I guess my question is: in this current market and climate of things, are fix and flip / rehab investors still investing in single family rental properties in Omaha, Nebraska in particular? 

I prefer ordering counter service vs waiting on mediocre table service in a climate where restaurants are understaffed.

Without the demand for climate storage and another big box stores, and with multi-family redevelopment of these buildings likely being too expensive to be profitable, does anybody have any ideas (or better yet examples) on how to take advantage of this large onslaught of vacant space? 

You said you are in the process of acquiring this property...how do you know its not under rent control or the existing tenants don't have leasehold for life...more importantly, what if the law does not permit instant exponential rental increases....and how is the court system viewing evictions in your current RE climate.
