I live in CA (SF Bay area), looking to move out of state possibly Nevada in two years once my son graduates High School.We sold our manufactured home a couple years ago and now are renting and saving for future home.Thought about buying an investment home in Las Vegas and renting it out for the next two years, while we are not ready to move.

Bay area is for buy and holds.
