Hi, Bigger Pockets! Very happy to discover this site. I've been learning a lot reading through the forms and listening to the podcasts. I'm excited to take my REI game to the next level.

Some background on me:

-Have been working as an acrobat with Cirque du Soleil for over 6 years. In my early 30s.

-Also a practicing visual artist / sculptor (www.kentcaldwell.com)

-Moved to Vegas in 2012, bought a home in 2012 and 2014 when property was cheap!

-Currently own 2 rentals: smaller property (owned free and clear) and larger SFR (financed).

-Would love to get into multi-family as a next step.

-Interested in eventually investing OOS, including: Charlotte, Asheville, maybe the midwest, Nashville / Chattanooga. (The Vegas market doesn't seem so great for investing, currently...)

-Currently focused on  acquiring property and building equity in homes (next 1-5 years) with larger cashflow as a long-term goal (years 5-10).

Thanks again to everyone for creating a great community-

Kent

Isaac - you plan to have someone live on site at the property? Are they living inside the home itself, or in a detached guest house / casita kind of situation? Do you think that will affect (lower) the rate you can get per night if you have to list the property indicating that someone will be on site with your guests?

Hi Isaac,

Shocked that you found a 3000 square foot, 6 bedroom home anywhere in the Valley for 200k in this current market. That is currently an impossibility for me to find.

Best of luck with this property - keep a tight look on the North Las Vegas STR laws, as they will likely follow suit with whatever changes the City of Las Vegas will make to its ordinance / regulations in the next few months....
