@Peter Neill First of all, that is an absolutely inspiring story and I want to say congrats and I best wishes for your continued success!

I will continue looking into the areas you mentioned and appreciate your insights.

Kicker is I don't have to sell, I would simply be happy with not renting anymore and continuing to build equity.2-Correct purchase and renovate a 3-5 unit building.

Better to keep rent 5-10% below market, but keep a tenant long-term.If you can handle all this, you MIGHT be ready to be a real estate mogul.Otherwise, you may want to get out of your own way and hire a PMC to manage your property better.Let us know how this goes before you continue dreaming about anything else:)

Another thought if you have already been in the house for a year is to continue to work on it, add more value and then sell it after two years so you can avoid the capital gains.

I think the unsuccessful and struggling units who have not jumped ship yet will continue to do so, leading to less supply, increasing demand, and a better year for the successful units. 

It will help round you into a more complete individual as you continue to develop and mature.

I’m looking to continue buying in Las Vegas and am interested in the mid term renal game. 

I would encourage you to learn the market you plan to invest in now and to continue to learn about the different methods of investing.

Because the reality is that one deal won't make you rich, but the continuous growth you get by doing deals and building your skills, network, and expertise will create the foundation to get you there!
