Now that I have the proven experience, and proven numbers of this working I want to leverage the experience I have in some way friends have recommended creating some form of course but I think I'm too green for that haha I need to buy a home for STR first before I contemplate that.

Quote from @Jaycee Greene: As long as you feel you can cover large capex, there's not much need to keep much cash in the account, though I would keep the SD in there, so it looks like you're not co-mingling funds. 

I agree with @Jonathan Greene that the question is vague, so my advice will have to be as well.The short answer: MTRs are real estate, so just like all real estate, any place that can long-term-rent cash flow with increasing jobs/population can be a suitable site to purchase. 

I have thought about Fundrise (medium success when I invested there), Crowdstreet (I have not invested there but might consider), farmtoghether (20k invested there already) and groundfloor (bad experience so not looking to invest there).Any advice will be appreciated.There is no greater wealth than peace of mind - Buddha - you have not been into syndication and crowdfunding mess looks like :-) it always looks green in other side of the road LOL

There, you'll find detailed information on investing, both in general and specifically in Las Vegas.Before I continue, note that unless otherwise noted, the charts only include properties that match the following profile.Type: Single-familyConfiguration: 1,000 SF to 3,000 SF, 2+ bedrooms, 2+ baths, 2+ garages, minimum lot size is 3,000 SF.Price range: $320,000 to $475,000Location: All zip codes marked in green below have one or more of our client’s investment properties.What we are seeing:The chart below, from the MLS, includes ALL property types and price ranges.

Does anyone know what Brandon Turner uses or David Greene? 

@Jonathan Greene you didn't, that comment was more in reference to other responses on the thread.

So this bank did the final part of their underwriting 2.5 months into the process while my 2nd lender (the one that I finally went with) was able to give me the green-light after only 2 weeks...

I would recommend the One Brokerage, David Greene team.

Or find a property that is under-utilized or has below market rents.Otherwise, you could also do the OPPOSITE of the great advice from @Jonathan Greene and buy a property with multi-bed units or live in the larger unit and rent out the smaller unit - while getting a roommate(s).
