(I’m not sure of the laws/regulations outside of the Las Vegas valley like Reno/mesquite or pahrump.)Are you currently working?

While I've been enrolled in an online course, I've found it to be quite costly and not as practical as I'd hoped.I recently discovered BP through a friend, and I'm amazed at the wealth of knowledge and support this community offers.

Practiced as a lawyer and also had various investments.

We're working on figuring out the local regulations for ADUs here which are a bit more confusing as it's already a duplex and not just a single family.

Also, thanks for the website on state-to-state regulations.

This specialized skill is rare—after working with many property managers in Las Vegas over the years, I found only two I would trust to place tenants in my properties.Contracts and processes must comply with all city, state, and federal regulations.

Start with your primary, rent out any spare bedrooms "house hack"Use that to practice upgrades, kitchen, bathroom, curb appeal... etcNow you have experience as a landlord and flipper, use that to buy a distressed propertyAdd 40% equity to the property through home makeover, refinance into a low cost mortgageNow you are cashflowing a healthy margin on a second property, use that to build equity over time, cashout later and buy your duplex/quad.If it's going to take you 10 years to save up a down payment for a small apartment building, yeah it makes more sense to start growing your portfolio with cheap SFR flips instead.Every market is different, every borrower is different, every property is different, it would be ill-advised to recommend anything without recognizing the individual's nuanced goals and objectives with their next acquisition.

Do you understand the expenses and regulations involved? 

Just be sure to check the local regulations before diving in.
