Below are some generalizations about ongoing maintenance costs: Older properties require more maintenance than newer properties.Composition roofs require more maintenance than tile roofs.Properties in climates with hard freezes require more maintenance than properties in milder climates.Properties in locations with a lot of moisture require more maintenance than properties in dryer climates.Wood siding requires more maintenance than aluminum or stucco siding.Properties with lush vegetation require more maintenance than properties with little or no vegetation.Below is a typical Las Vegas single family class A home.In summary, I believe Las Vegas is not only a good place to invest today, it has a high probability of continuing to be a good investment location into the foreseeable future.
