Omaha's housing market

You can’t sell your rental and come out on top
Not unless you live in a place like LA where the home prices appreciate fast. Dumpy house in a good neighborhood that you fix up real nice. Otherwise keep a rental in Nebraska for 30 years. Probably lose hundreds if you were such a slumlord you didn't fix anything and now it's got roaches and rodents and carpenter ants and termites. So you're selling them the lot and they have to pay to tear the house down.

Probably worse there in Colorado.

Looking at three houses later today. Not in my preferred area, but in an area I can sort of afford, lol.

Also in Ohio, you ever seen Mike Tyson's old mansion? https://architecturalafterlife.com/2015/03/the-restoration-of-mike-tysons-abandoned-mansion/
 
@HuskerDocCo Yeah, it's funny. I'm renting a house right now that in theory should be overkill for my space needs. But yet in practice, I'm constantly finding myself moving furniture around to set up something I need space for, and then tearing it back down and moving the furniture back when I'm done. What can I say, I've got some hobbies where having some extra space is really useful, lol. 🤷‍♂️

sounds like your weeks are full of fun and joy!! just keep hauling your massive wang around and someday deposit some sperm into Doreen and have a kid thanks
 
House next door just listed for $800k. 3,300 sq ft 3 bedroom. They're trying to act like it's special because Warren Buffett rented it for two years in the 1950s when he started his investment company.

Anyway, hopefully it sells for that because it'd be great news for our property value.
 
I honestly don’t know why anyone is using a realtor to sell at this point. They are a waste of money. Most houses where I am at get over asking price now.
I sold a house 4 years ago with no realtors involved. I sold it for $30k more than I paid for it just 2.5 years after I purchased it. Not a high value house so the profit was solid. That was in Bellevue. Nebraska title has a packet that makes for sale by owner very simple.
 
Think I'm gonna put in an offer on one of the houses I looked at today. As an added bonus, it appears that the current owners are Husker fans, lol. (I live a looong way from Nebraska.) They had a couple little Husker-branded things sitting around like coasters and stuff.

I've already missed on one house I tried to buy. Offered $36k over asking price on that one, apparently that wasn't good enough.

With basically no real work from anyone involved. Set up a sign and it’s gone.
I never used a realtor around 6 years ago in a market that was steady which was nothing close to what we are seeing now and I sold my place easy. I only paid a title company which came to around 1200 bucks. It sure beat paying the commission on 280,000.

But bad news for your tax assessment
