Not a ton of young professionals except in government roles (Carson City's largest employment option), or if they want a slower pace but are still willing to commute to Reno. 

I feel like this is a little bit like extortion, I’m clearly not happy with the business model, but it looks like I am stuck with them for another year.

Have you been employed as an Abstractor? 

@Benjamin Ying The only way to cash flow in the current market is to employ a higher effort strategy like STR, MTR, rent by the room, etc.The "cash flow on paper" properties in stagnant markets or C-D class neighborhoods are probably not the type of places that you want to own long term.

You may also need to provide additional documentation, such as proof of income and employment, and may need to have a co-signer who is a U.S. citizen or permanent resident.In terms of buying with an LLC, it can be a good option for some foreign buyers, as it can provide additional liability protection and potentially offer tax benefits.

Having watched many prior co-workers get paid, cash their check at the casino, and promptly deposit it all into a slot machine I can tell you with pretty good certainty that casinos don't have a positive effect on disposable income and good use of the existing income in the area surrounding :)Are there solid local employers OTHER than the casino in a 15-minute drive? 

I would employ full-time paid employees as moderators, not VAs or people willing to help (although they are great for doing it) because it is what makes the site better to get rid of the dust.2.

I am currently employed as a project engineer working for a GC that builds multi-family projects.

My husband and his partners sold their company, and he is transitioning out of full time employment there in the next couple of months.  

When parents employ their minor child, the child is exempt from Social Security and Medicare (aka FICA) - if under 18.
