Making the most out of a visit to Reno, NV?

[Danny Shin]

Hello BP and Reno!

I'm heading up to Reno / Sparks, NV in a month or so, and am looking for some tips on two things:

1.  What's fun to do there that's family friendly?  I'm going to be there over a long weekend with two young boys and my wife in early August. 

2. As a young REI still looking for a market in which to invest (remotely from Southern California), what areas of Reno should I tour that might actually still produce some cash-flow as a 1-4 unit buy and hold rental? Does such a mythical area still exist in this market?

Many thanks!

Danny
