Once the taxpayer-funded benefits are turned off and some larger companies are made examples for hiring illegals, many will self-deport.

If your project qualifies for EPP (Express Permit Program), then you don’t have to secure permits in the traditional way.

That will be you one day.Your future self will thank you (in 10 years).

I'd also suggest self-managing your first property to maximize cash flow and learn by doing for any future investments.

Quote from @Armell Mayers: Started out 4 years ago not knowing anything about Real Estate and have been self-taught till this day!! 

Additionally, you may wish to speak with a CPA as to whether or not becoming an S Corp is the right decision – they can assist with reducing self-employment taxes.

If you live in Vegas and can self-manage the property, I'd likely recommend sticking to the market you know and have succeeded in.

Also not sure if you have a retirement fund but you may be able to setup a self directed fund and use a portion of that money for a real estate related investment. definitely not saying your plan is bad or that these are better just giving my thoughts. 

Is in there, but a great thing you can do now is get your "core 4" figured out - agent/lender/manager/contractor - obviously you can adjust this and do one of the pieces yourself (self-manage for example) or don't need a contractor if you do only turnkey etc but getting this nailed down early is key

This self claimed "Drug Addict to CEO" doesn't pass the sniff test in my opinion.
