Midtown refers to a specific area and it's quite desirable. 1/1 MTRs would do well here IMO.

@Reeti PeshawariaIf it's a desirable place to be you can STR within structure of the current rules.

The desire to replace W2 income is a mistake many make when approaching real estate as an investment. 

See the 2020 aerial view below.Very little undeveloped private land is left in the Las Vegas Valley, and desirable areas cost more than $1 million per acre.

My interest in real estate came from a desire to have stability and time/financial freedom.

Best,WilliamThis introduction highlights your enthusiasm, transparency about your experience level, and desire to connect with others while establishing your goals.

If the former is your guest avatar, you really need to look at what others are doing in your area because if they include utilities with no cap and you don't, it will make your property much less desirable.

In our market, it is probably a bit more desirable to go after smaller multi and of course it depends on the capital you have.   

This would satisfy your retirement desire.
