I live in the greater Omaha area.

I'm a product of BP through and through, was on these forums figuring out how to house hack after we already were in contract on a duplex, all the way through making it the foundation of my current business. 

An uptick may be due to the decrease in bonus depreciation by 20% in the new year.

There is no lock because the laundry machines are in the basement. 

While the building envelope itself doubled in value.

You won't be able to get the renters' names, but you can look up the unit numbers by putting in the main address into the tax records and it will show all the apartment numbers at that address.

I think it depends on the market.. they approached me on a furnished rental I had in Vegas (Summerlin gated community A class)  We got basically double or a little more of the normal rent..

But most get sucked in by cash flow on paper.. when in fact its TRASHFLOW

I would start with the Fair Market Rents (FMR) in the county where the property is located and use that as a basis to negotiate from there.Thanks Jaycee, are to referring to the HUD website? 

@Grace Hartman I don't mean this in a negative way but you're in this situation due to lack of experience, terribly high contractor quotes, or a combination.
