While my vegas properties have gone up about $200 in 15 years (from $1600-1800 or $2,000-2200 depending on value.) 

I also know I would want to live here for many years.I have considered purchasing a property in Las Vegas instead as the same amount of money I use to purchase a 2 bedroom condo can be used to purchase a full two story house with 3-4 bedrooms.

During his wife’s speech (they’ve since divorced) she unbelievably relayed that they had just filed bankruptcy last year because their fix n flip business went broke; that he was sitting around the house in a state of depression, and that they decided to go to Las Vegas and get a mentorship program together based on his “success”.

we like Vegas for So cal investors.. can drive there pretty easy.fun place to go.and instead of mid west 50 to 125 year old homes you can buy homes built in the 1990s and newer  Very easy to maintainno snow ice  no soil and water intrusion issues which are very common in Ohio.. some of the lowest property tax's in the US.And if you buy Solid B or A class your going to get professional to semi profession occupation tenants which is a world of difference between those and your 800 dollar mid west renter.

After years of living in California and Vegas I’ve recently moved back to Northern Michigan where I was born and raised.

I own properties in 5 states, just sold about 26 homes I owned in Las Vegas and I sold the homes only because the out-of-state, or out-of-your-area properties always incur huge losses and the smartest and most-experienced investors cannot negate those additional losses and costs.

@Carlos PtriawanI don’t know ANYTHING about the socal market or your market if it’s different, but what you’re saying certainly was true in Vegas. 

First, let me provide some background information about us.We are a Las Vegas-based investor services business that has successfully delivered over 480 investment properties to more than 180 clients worldwide.

Don't outbid that young family just so you can have 1 more rental👍Vegas is real tough  one of our relatives was trying to buy their first home and kept getting beat out. so I sold them my rental there and bought a different one as we did not rely on fha for a new purchase and was able to make a lateral move .. its going to be kind of like the high priced Europe cities were many to most homes are passed down they are not sold.
