I am looking at buying a house when I return to Nebraska.

We are looking for some work to be done in a NE Minneapolis duplex, and also hoping to establish a regular relationship with a handy person. 

Hey guys, my name is Ian Bridge, I'm a real estate agent in Lincoln, Nebraska.

I’ll actually be attending my second meetup here in Omaha, NE Wednesday so that’s exciting.

I'm 43 years old and living in NE Florida.

Any mortgage brokers or loan officers from Lincoln, NE wantto jump in here and offer to talk to him offline?

The property is here in Lincoln NE.

Would you mind sharing ne the contractor that you used to fix the property you bought?

Was once a more prominent place when agriculture and oil/gas industries employed more rural folks, there were more family farms etc but  just like the countless other hundreds of small towns in KS it is likely dying a slow death.If you want to invest in KS - I think being an out of stater you'd have better luck sticking to larger population centers such as Garden City, Dodge City, El Dorado, Lawrence, Manhattan, Wichita area, Hutchinson, etc etc - I'm not a big fan of Wal Mart - but find places with a Dillons Grocery Store (part of the Kroger family) or Wal Mart in town - those are your larger population centers here that will be a bit more sustainable and have more opportunity than a dying rural town with no industry.Same thing would likely apply in Nebraska, OK and I'd assume other plains states - if you can find a Wal Mart and a large major chain Grocery store in town, they've done most of the market study for you already proving there is something sustainable there.  

I've bought property without title insurance, just had my attorney do a "nothing further" report, cost about $100.In Iowa (at least I think it's Iowa-might be Nebraska) no one has title insurance, it's illegal.
