So many "meetups" are just veils for the hosts who are looking to find investors for their next flip, syndication or coaching program.

I recommend to newer investors to find good coaching.

Ryan,I tend to get some some referrals every month from Canada that ask about DSCR they are usually looking to buy Vegas and Arizona. 

Don't pay for a coach or a consultant who has thousands of followers on social media.. 

So, we're thinking of selling the older houses and buying a newer house in Las Vegas (within 5 to 10 miles from Fremont/Strip area).

Jay has advocated for Vegas.  

She was planning a cross-country move to be with her family in Las Vegas, but the process was daunting.

Do you have any colleagues that service the Las Vegas area for this type of loan?

I remember being a beginner and having similar thoughts and my coach telling me "you need to keep looking for the deal, it's out there". 

That’s a pretty good amount to start out with if you’re creativeIf you already have around $40,000 to invest then finding an affordable coach that can help you find under market valued deals and can help lead you and guide you through the process from start to finish is probably better than going to a course or reading a book.
