@Caleb Heimsoth@Jay Hinrichs@Will Gates@Eric BilderbackThanks so much for the responses!

And thabk you for future input.So, i have a property here in las vegas bought about 11/2 years ago for exactly 270,000 (owe 242,000 on it now).The houses (including my own) now valued around 340-370 (mine on zillow says 355k) my home is a 4 bed 3 bath 2560 sqft 2 story build 2015 (has 10 yr builder warranty) corner house in gated community...My original plan was to live in it while we settled into vegas, then rent it out and go buy another house however not only is the market here in vegas at an unknown is it going to continue to go up or down etc.

@James Gates sorry for the late reply!

It sounds as if you are at a gate point in your "path" that you have determined you have a desire to grow bigger.

@Mac L.If they are the old school gate type valves (they turn multiple items to open and close) they should be replaced with ball valves. (1/4 turn from full on to full off)You can probably get away with just doing the main house one (I almost always do these even if working) the rest are up to you.

perfect place for Toll Gate !!!

I made the same mistake as you wanting to renovate vs rent right out the gate.

What ran through my mind was.... since my property is in a gated community, I would need to contact the association and security to let them know guests are arriving and provide the names.

You should go as big as you can out of the gate.

@Marcus B Hsu I believe the law states that if a car is parked on a public street (non-gated community) for more than 48 hrs unmoved, especially if its inoperable, the car can be ticketed and towed.
