(Yes I know, you asked "how").There's too many unknowns for me to give a much more meaningful answer.Have you checked nearby sold comparables?

After I establish a primary residence, I plan on building a portfolio of buy and hold single unit and/or multifamily rental properties in Reno, Sparks, or even Fernley, NV (or elsewhere, depending on where my research takes me). 

I was looking at properties on Zillow just to gauge the market and it seems similar in both Vegas/Henderson and Reno/Sparks.

If you can get it at the right price, go for it, but there should be a meaningful discount.When determining the right price, Account Closed is exactly right - use ONLY comps on a main street and preferably, the same street, sold within the last 6 months if possible.One thing you light look into - here in MA, our DOT has a website where they post traffic counts from all over the state. 

I don't necessarily expect to cover my mortgage but want to supplement my cost of living while building equity.I'm extremely new to this and realize I may realistically still be a couple years out from pulling the trigger but I want to be making meaningful steps towards what I need to do to be ready.

Working in this field has sparked my interest to invest.

The spark your looking for will appear out action.Good Luck,Loren

My name is Jose Asencio, I am a Philadelphia native who has had a real estate passion spark in me from an early age.

I have done a lot of research, and the wholesaling aspect of real estate has sparked my attention, especially starting out.

Hey @Roman Ladijensky - The chart that @Mike D'Arrigo has provided is meaningful.
