Investment property or personal residence? If investment and you have 20% down it would be good to look at secondary market loan. Fixed rate up to 30 years.

Drop me a note, happy to talk through.

Depending on what after value is you could refinance it out after 90 days of having a tenant

@matthewsmith Happy to talk through it with you. Send me a PM here on BP and will connect up. 

@Greg Naughton We get about 50% of all of our protests approved. Just like @Kyle Godbout said have your comparables available. If it is a recent purchase and price was below the current assessment those are easy. Just not that on your form. 

When you reference using a 3rd party, we would also like to know of any companies in Nebraska that provide this service. Good luck! 

@Matthew Anderson

We recently bought a small property management company here in Omaha called Peterson Bros Realty. I have owned my own brokerage which we sold to a large franchised company in 2010.

I have been investing in the real estate space in Omaha and Lincoln for many years. 

We are a property management company now being built on the foundation of our experience working with 3 of the largest property management companies over the years,  taking what we loved and scrapping that which we hated as an owner/investor. 

We have a slide scale management fee, in addition, we offer rehab and service for $30-$75 an hour. This is designed knowing that not all service needs are the same and should be charged accordingly. We only offer this service to our clients.

No more $85 an hr for someone to install blinds. Ha Ha

We also meet or video conference with our owners annually to review the assets. It is our goal to be in the 40-50% expense ratio excluding P and I on all properties. 

We do not take on any clients that are not committed to building a portfolio of investments or have an established portfolio. 

We have never had an eviction in our personal portfolio and bring that depth of screening and understanding resident challenges with us.

If you want to learn more, feel free to reach out. 

Regards.
