Two other friends of mine immigrated here and are now airline pilots.

If you are investing out of state, there are almost certainly more "target rich" cash-flow markets out there that are easier to get to via major airline if you want to check up on your investments occasionally. 

Brainhead is nice and you have the added bonus of being 3 hrs from Vegas (which depending on your preferred airline may make flights significantly cheaper).I have a great realtor here.

So rugs, if it had stained before you moved in, you're expected to just vacuum, not steam clean old stains. 

Builders are sucking them up like a Hoover vacuum cleaner, With all of the new construction in that area, in such a short period of time, it's amazing! 

I need you to bring your own cleaning supplies, mop and a bucket, though I will supply a vacuum and broom as I don't have a place to store them for you.7.

I would likely favor a local hop on commuter airline. 

I don't think you'll be missing something with either choice. 99% of what I end up doing is with pretty basic stuff: e-mail, browser, maps, flashlight app (amazingly handy), camera, weather apps, calendar, productivity (pages, numbers, and keynote, the iOS equivalents to word, excel and powerpoint), calculator, kindle app, iBooks (mostly to capture .pdf documents), banking apps (from your bank), open table (restaurant reservations), trip advisor app (handy for finding stuff near you, though the map apps are pretty good at this, too), airline apps (flight status, online checkin), clock (haven't used a watch in years, also for timers, stopwatch, and alarm functions), pandora, fandango, flash seats (concert tickets), and a few others.These phones are really handy when traveling.

Companies are laying off employees as tourism, sports venues, hospitality industry, airlines and others all take major hits.
