Market Analysis: 68025 Fremont

This part of Dodge County is not an easy win. The 68025 ZIP shows softness in key indicators, and the playbook that works in cleaner markets often stalls here.

Rent of $1,209/mo on a $260K basis reads well until vacancy, delinquency, and capex enter the model. The honest cap rate in 68025 sits below the stated 0.0% once reality is priced in.

Statewide comparisons place 68025 among NE's softer markets. That context does not make the ZIP uninvestable, but it does raise the bar for due diligence.

Employment concentration in 68025 leans toward sectors with higher volatility. The demographic consequence is income fluctuation that investors need to factor into their pro forma.

New investors are better served looking at Fremont's stable or hybrid ZIPs before stepping into 68025. The learning curve here is expensive when the lesson is wrong.

Negative Leverage — IRR / Tax Play Cap Rate: 3.6%  |  30yr Rate: 6.8%
Leverage reduces cash returns at current rates.

The current 30-yr mortgage rate (6.8%) exceeds the estimated cap rate (3.6%). Financing reduces your cash-on-cash return below the cap rate. Markets like this may still make sense as IRR plays — factoring in appreciation, depreciation, and a future refinance when rates drop.

About Repit School Scores

Traditional school ratings rely heavily on standardized test scores, which often reflect family income more than school quality. Repit takes a different approach.

We evaluate schools based on factors that research shows actually impact educational outcomes:

  • Class Size — Smaller classes mean more individual attention
  • School Funding — Resources available for programs, staff, and facilities
  • Community Factors — Neighborhood characteristics that influence student success
  • School Environment — Size, type, and structure

Scores are updated annually using federal education data.
