Newbie seeking advice

[Megan Wakefield]

Hi, my name is Megan and I live in Las Vegas. I am currently in the learning and saving up process of my real estate investing journey. I have been listening to the podcast, reading books, and getting to know all the vocabulary/terms used. I plan on house hacking my 1st property with a FHA loan. I am 23 years old, single, with no kids and think this is the perfect time for me to house hack for 3-5 years buying a new multi each year. My question involves the Las Vegas market and I know it could change by the time I'm ready to buy but I have not had any luck finding a multi family that I would feel safe in. Any advice in finding a safe multi family I would feel comfortable in? I live in Henderson about 25 min south from the Las Vegas strip and would prefer to stay in this area but if a good deal comes up, I wouldn't mind in the other areas around, as long as it's safe.

Thank you!

Do you have any friends/relatives/neighbors or co-workers you would feel comfortable living with? I got started by house hacking a large SFH with some friends. The cost for larger houses is usually only a little more than smaller houses. Not only are they in better neighborhoods. They are also much easier to sell if you desire to later.
