@Richard Bradshaw multi families do not cash flow well in my current market, I would consider it if I had a  partner but I would not consider this route on my own as a new investor to much risk thanks for you input though. 

Richard, you didn't move from Long Island to Las Vegas just because of the investment opportunities, did you?

As Richard mentioned, our local REIA is quite well established and provides not only a lot of high-quality content but hundreds of local investors to network with.
