    Short term rentals in Omaha are becoming more and more popular and in Dundee one neighbor says he wants to turn his passion for hosting and traveling into a business.

    He and others are trying to use these rentals to build wealth for their families for years to come.

    “I kind of have a larger vision where I would kind of hope to do that or create something like that, here in Omaha,” said Cornelius Levering.

    Levering is a renter in the Dundee neighborhood. Now, he wants to be a buyer. Not a place for him to live but to be a great host and build generational wealth in a way his family has never done before, through home ownership.

    “I feel like I will influence my nieces and nephews and their trajectory, so these are my siblings, you know, children on whether or not they become homeowners as well,” said Levering.
