After a Valentines purchase as well as a couple others, I was able to convince him this was a good move.

You shouldn’t have to go to a second platform to verify a booking.I’m happy to jump on a call to review your current occupancy compared to the market, as well as “the anatomy of a statement.”

Ran into many problems with contractors along the way, paid for some material twice as well as some projects to be redone.

Different areas have different metrics that decide how well they are doing.

@Hector Lewis - The decision ultimately depends on your current cash reserves relative to your financial needs, as well as your willingness to reinvest for potential appreciation.

Largely, the appreciation in housing prices is coming from both new migrants and investors coming from the East (GTA) as well as international countries (predominately from the middle east).We are also seeing drastic increases in the rental rates which in turn are pushing investment property prices up as well.

You know much more about Vegas than I do, but winters are colder here and summers are cooler as well.

As stated previous neither lender would want to take the second position as well. 

They made contact with me as well but I don't want to get sucked into a scam.
