Are condos a good investment?

[Alexis York]

I reside in Las Vegas, NV. The housing market is crazy right now! Housing prices are through the roof and over valued. I planned on buying my first investment property but am a little weary. My realtor said maybe I should consider buying a condo instead of a single family home first. What are your guys thoughts? I have heard good and bad things. Just wanted to get some other opinions! Thank you in advance :)
