I've also downloaded the 130-something podcasts onto my phone for days when i can't physically sit down and read.Again, thanks to everyone for the kind words

I am reaching out to the community to get some advice.Should I physically move to a market that is a little more favorable to investing?

There is no substitute for being physically present with experienced investors.Let me know if you need any help finding other resources to help you get started!

And, BTW, your services do not add value to real property unless it's labor in connection with the physical improvement made.  

my 4 plexes were running about 25% vacancy, but I couldn't get many tenants to stick around for more than 3 or 4 months, before being evicted, moving out in the middle of the night or ending up in prison, so then I'd have another lease-up or have to take on economic vacancy instead of physical vacancy.Depending on where in Vegas you are looking 200k is probably not going to cashflow, 100k definitely does and was an awesome buying price, 150k can if you are super efficient and find a miracle property manager.

Looking at your competition, what is their physical vacancy, their turnover (related, but not the same), evictions/bad debt, loss to rent (how many units are not renting at market), and concessions ("1-month free on annual lease).
