I finally saved up enough capital to purchase a decent town home or condo in Las Vegas.  

I didn't realize so many various contingencies can be included as part of a house purchase, Geeeezzz!

So Jan 2023 I purchased a brand new home about 2 miles from the beach.

@Julie Bourdon investing should be approached logically, not emotionally.Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.So, when investing in areas they don’t really know, investors should research the different property Class submarkets.

Now in terms of investment in these areas it can be quite tough because of the higher barrier of entry in terms of purchase price and demand for these pockets but there are still deals to be found.Anything in between Girard and Washington Ave University City/ Spruce & Squirrel HillManayunk & RoxboroughWest Germantown, Mt.

I am actually thinking if I should purchase one for my primary residence.

Hi Tyquan, An FHA loan would be an option for the use of a primary residence purchase. 

The more efficient solution might be to purchase from Grandma with the 25% down..you ca use the income to help qualify and obtain gift funds or other sources for the down payment.

That comes with the expense of the refi - but if you were already cash-flowing on your new purchase, you will only improve your situation when you refi.
