Nevada is landlord friendly, low property taxes, and strong job and population growth.

I don't know what the people doing those jobs are supposed to do for a living. 

This is definitely not a slum, its a nicely updated house and there are different types of travel nurses like anything else.

I think I am looking for someone to do taxes and give tax advice but I am 52 with a great job and would like some advice for investing / retirement planning. 

I'm 30 years it would be nice to have a property that rents like a 1995 house does today and not a 50-70 year old property like a 1970 would be at year 30.

@Ruchi Patel if the walls need repair from damage, like painter will itemize special primer or cleaner so crayons don’t bleed through, then my understanding is you can charge them for that part of the job, but only if it’s an additional charge above the normal paint job fee.

No Job.

They are generally completed in 3-4 months and offer a much more cost efficient way to buy a nice home. 

Then, depending on if you or your wife have a traditional day job, you'll definitely want to consider making estimated payments to avoid underpayment penalties.
