My Wife and I left the State one week ago due to my job West African .

I've honed down to select areas with 1 Year CES Job Change Percentage >2%...  1.

I think the job would take a solid 3-4 days to complete, but the family doesn't really take vacations and I don't want to pay for a hotel for them to stay in during the time that job is done - even if they left, the amount of stuff to work around is troublesome.  

I am 'old school' and taught not to say anything if it's not nice, so I won't.

With 1M in capital there are multiple options that can cash flow and with the influx of tech and manufacturing jobs into Reno the equity will grow at an above average rate. 

(Just not sure if it's the best spot to build nice, new homes)

It's nice to see other Midwesterners here on the forums.

Landlord friendly, low taxes, job growth, and close to all the recreation of lake Tahoe. 

Great job on completing the 4-point inspection for your investment home.

On any given week there are 50-150 contractors here doing short term jobs.
