Las Vegas will continue to do well long term and continues to be one of the best locations for long-term buy and hold investments.Because of low interest rates and low rental inventory, now is the time to buy properties that target what I call “mission critical” employees.

@Haider Abdullah I was in the same boat as you, here's what I did.Rent a single family 2b/2b house in Northwood in Irvine, for $2800-2900/mo, which is like $7200/year less than you've listed.Save that cash and buy a house in a more affordable town (like Aliso Viejo, Lake Forest, Mission Viejo).

Hey everyone, I’ve been on a mission since January 2020 to move out of my rental in DC and into a house hack in Maryland by November 2020.

I'm so honored to be featured in the latest blog by Joe Fairless!

You can look to invest up north, on the island or even buy a apartment locally in places like Mission/Abbotsford/Chilliwack. 

One of their primary missions is owner protections and they probably have campaigns going in this direction you can become part of as well. 

The stove is an interesting concern, but I'm perfectly willing to just write that off--whether it's an AirBNB or a duplexed basement, the stove isn't mission-critical.
