As for security in occupied houses, I don’t have a definite solution - it’s just that opening doors is a low-value task that a busy buyer’s agent probably shouldn’t want to handle."

I quickly realized that you do not need to offee tours, especially since the units are occupied as long as your photos are up to date. 

However, I would avoid neighborhoods where the vast majority of the homes are owner occupied and all of the homes are really well kept - you can do a quick search on county GIS or software and click on the homes to see if they are owned in personal names or LLCs.

With $50k, you might be able to get started using an FHA loan, which typically requires a lower down payment, as long as you’re planning to occupy the property.

So there are distinct rules for North Vegas, City of LV, Clark County and Henderson.No homes for sale in Henderson either-there you can have up to 5 homes per person, no bedroom limit,no need to occupy.

My only hurdle is the fact that I don't know the Real Estate Investing industry that well, so I don't know where or how to find the right documents for my wholesaling transactions.I've began generating pre-foreclosure leads, which I am able to filter out just ones with high equity, owner occupied, and no auction date, yet.
