Sure, the Bay Area is a different area with different economic drivers, but that doesn't change the fact that buying on future appreciation is still speculative investing.Don't misunderstand -- I wasn't being critical or dismissive of your approach or your results.

I personally find large risk in doing this as your primary investment strategy (see driver earnings through Uber over last 10 years).

Homes that appeal to our target tenant segment range from $320,000 to $475,000, so the supply of housing we target remains almost the same regardless of how many new homes are built.DemandThe driver for housing demand is population growth.The average Las Vegas annual population growth is between 2% and 3%.

This dynamic nature of interest rates is expected to be a critical driver in investment decisions, shaping the market's trajectory.

Inflation from previous years being one of the main drivers. 

Being an investor in Florida and California, insurance has been driving me mad! 

The tenant can say that she mailed the check and the landlord lost it, or the USPS lost it, or aliens kidnaped the envelope...I offered her to deposit the rent into my bank account, she says she is always on the road (she is a truck driver) and can't do it.Anyway, do I have a right t say I can't accept the checks through the mail?

I visited last month and the city seemed like a very nice area and talking with my uber drivers, there seemed to be growing job opportunities.

Go one street past Burns (Fischer) and it is "Mad Max" time.
