But within LA  county there are cities like Long Beach that are bigger better stronger economies would engulf you.  

In L.A tenants rights are much stronger than landlords and now the politicians want to make rent control even stronger and have it apply to more buildings .Will be interesting to see if more Los Angeles landlords decide to look into Vegas to invest.They are also working to make things tougher for developers and charge more fees and make them provide more affordable housing .The thing about Vegas though is every time I'm there I see a lot of building going on .

If the correction happens in 5 years (and my market lags the rest of the country) I'll be in a much, much stronger position than if I had just sat on the sidelines waiting.

Is it a good move to make my offers look stronger?

If you do, you should buy it, address it, increase it's value and generate stronger returns. 

Use your local representatives if you need stronger local laws. 

Stronger culture, nicer people, more training.

The research bears out that income effects are substantially stronger than wealth effects.Beyond all of this, and this is something that I don't expect you to understand, money was largely actually destroyed throughout COVID. 

Not the case for Las Vegas: Class A properties will stay class A in the future.Due to the lack of expansion room, increased demand created by people and companies migrating to Las Vegas will almost guarantee price and rent increases.SummaryThe current market is strong and we expect it to get stronger as 2019 progresses.

According to my research, its one of the stronger markets for apartment/multifamily currently.
