Coastal YUP looking in Vegas to relocate and invest

[Nick DePrizio]

Hey BP community, 

Just another Coastal tech guy leaving the industry for greener/cheaper more sustainable pastures. Any recommendations on content to help educate myself on neighborhoods where investors in this community are buying for investments and thier own living. Have really enjoyed Vegas in past trips (non strip) and my wife and I are considering it as our next hub.

@Nick DePrizio I recently transitioned to Vegas from Miami Beach myself. To better answer your question, it would be good to get some further info as to what type of investments you're looking to make. Are you looking for SFR's? MFR's? Commercial? Are you looking for flips or buy and hold? Are you looking for turnkey or value-add?

What I've learned is to pretty much stay away from the areas to the immediate East of the strip. Southwest is the hottest/newest area and is up & coming. Northwest is nice and has some good areas. Northeast and North Las Vegas are hit/miss. Southeast has some nice areas. Summerlin is... Summerlin (always a good/safe bet). Downtown has some great opportunities, depending on what type of investor you are. It also has some areas to stay away from.

Hope this helps, good luck in your transition!
