Looking to begin flipping in Las Vegas. Just looking for general opinions.

[Manuel Sarabia]

A little backstory on me. I've had my license for 9 yrs. 2 as a broker. Been doing flips in California for about 3 years now. Been doing fairly well and know the process from start to bottom. I want to dive into a different market and I am eyeing the Vegas market. I'm pretty close to getting my brokers license in Nevada and as soon as I do, I want to begin establishing myself in the area. I don't know the market so I plan on getting my feet wet with BPOs(and hopefully get into the REO side of things as well. Could be tough), which will help speed up the process. All of my purchases will be cash and I'm familiar with pretty much all avenues on obtaining a property.

So no real questions. Just wanted to get your general opinion on what the market looks like and the investor activity is for the area. I guess this info will not be available until I join the local MLS but if any statistics available out there that I can look at(days on market, values over the past 12 months, etc) that would be great.
