So this is a cash flow killer for a long time!!!!

It does have a killer view of the strip, but with all my family in Atlanta, I don't see myself moving back to Vegas anytime soon.

Raul, I have been able to find apartments that the board will allowed to be rented out, but the maintenance fees are a killer.

It's extra work/headache for a potential buyer down the road if they ever want to refinance or sell plus it could be a potentially higher interest rate and down payment requirements so this in turn should make the market price lower than typical condo prices but shouldn't be a deal killer as there are plenty of community banks to shop around.

I wish I could make numbers work there, but they are deal killer for me. 

The taxes are a killer here in LA but like I said hard to avid since I will have that no matter where I go.

Wow those property taxes are a killer!

And even with that I'm not sure you'd have a rock solid case with a potential for a step transaction.Yah, I know that 45 days can be a killer. 

You will be much better prepared to build that killer team for OOS after you have acquired certain knowledge that is best learned hands-on 3) Local provides the potential for owner occupied which has better loan terms (lower down payment and lower rate).  4) Local provides you the best opportunity to be an "expert" on the area.So if I were you I would wait until after I pick where I am going to live before purchasing. 

depends on what you're trying to do.I buy in a state where seller pays closing costs, and I've only bought assets never sold. my realtor is a KILLER as well so MLS access is moot.
