Just by moving to Las Vegas and renting an apartment, I will be saving 20K - 30K a year.My plan is:Move to Las Vegas and live there for 6 to 12 months (experience the seasons and weather).During this time, I will familiarize myself with the area and properties (go to open houses), and continue to educate myself about real estate (mortgage process, tenant screening, networking, contractors, etc.)After 6 to 12 months, if I still like living in Las Vegas, I plan to purchase a home to live in (putting 20% down).
