Quote from @River Sava: Hey Luke - Tapping into your equity through a HELOC is definitely a common way to fund a down payment, but like you said, having two open loans can lead to higher closing costs and potentially impact cash flow.

Thank you @River Sava. 

Example, if you wanted to be close to the vineyards that are gaining popularity, Sahuarita or Green Valley is where you want to look.

I mean I followed Dave Del Dotto and Carlton Sheets.Del Dotto got seriously rich and ended up buying wineries in Napa Valley and one was right across the street from my home..

I currently live in Silicon Valley but house prices aren't feasible for me here.

In addition to the job growth in the area, I am hoping that Tesla's move (and Elon Musk's notoriety) might signal that the hippest crowd of Silicon Valley should come to Reno as well.  

@Adrian SmudeBest investment at this point is tube rentals down the Rifle River!
