Anyone investing in N Omaha?

[Justin Robinson]

I’m a new investor based out of San Diego, Ca. Yesterday I came across an investor getting out of the game. They own a total of 28 properties in the Fontenelle area of N. Omaha. 12 are vacant and need extensive rehab. The others are rented out but I’m sure they need rehab as well. From what I could find out about the owner he seemed to be the cliche lower class neighborhood slum lord. I know it’s the lower class neighborhood with a lot of section 8 but does anyone know if there’s a revitalization going on there? I read that a lot of young professionals are moved my to the area? Could it be a good place to find deals? I have a meeting with an agent on Friday afternoon. I’d love some feedback. I’ve read that there is an attempt at economic development for he area. Any truth to that? Thanks much!
