Las Vegas will have its first major national sports team (NHL), Faraday Future is a new electric car company that is building a huge manufacturing facility, (not putting a lot of emphasis on this because it can possibly flop you know like Fisker).

A lot of it not germane to todays lending environment...

And what makes it fun is that real estate is a team sport.

I'd think you could make a killing there during snow bird season, or hey get a condo cheap somewhere close to the beach and do the same strategy or a condo close to Raymond James stadium or whatever they call it now and cater to sports fans - know it would only be a few home games but anyways you definitely likely have more options than you did in Wichita.Congrats on the move and enjoy whats left of this beautiful winter weather down there and then button down the  hatch for Hurricane season...ha - I went through Wilma when I lived in Cape Coral and stayed in the house - was a cool experience and you'll get to laugh at all the Floridians that think high winds and rain are a big deal. 

I'm looking to wholesale real estate in the Williamsburg Va. and surrounding areas..Want to learn more about virtual wholesaling..I need to  find friends...I did a little bit of wholesaling 10 years ago in Penn using Ron Legrand's program..I had a partner; and together we worked the German town area of Philly and such...I loved it; but had to leave...If anyone has any info...please help...I am currently a stay at home mom...I hope your day is pleasant...

And, she got to grow her network through them by playing a sport she loved!

Remember this is a contact sport.

I don't know if this is germane to your situation but one thing I learned is that every partner has to be an active member in the deal because if a partner is just passively putting in money then it technically becomes a security which means you need a securities lawyer and things get more complicated... and expensive. 

Most Germans rent, not because they can't afford to buy, but because it is sometimes more convenient, and it is more socially acceptable to do so than in the US.

Another place to look for STRs could be large college towns with a passion for college sports.
