Hello I’m from Washington DC but will be moving to Las Vegas in 2-3 months.

@Bob Bowling @Ethan Vegas these are true for all of California.The only way to retire with grace is to cash out and move out-of-state.

Everett is a good option too and there I'd focus on this small little neighborhood that's close to the casino and right near nightshift brewing. 

This put downward pressure on market prices and cause neighborhoods to decline.a rapid population increase will cause a shortage of housing, and this will tend to increase rents and prices.We are not talking about identifying specific up and coming neighborhoods on their way to gentrification, this is very hard to do without being very familiar with a given neighborhood, but about painting the states with a very wide brush and see what cities are going to grow at a macro level.The list below has links to the wikipedia demographics section.The 1 minute tour of relevant US citiesCities with secular demographic downtrend: Detroit MICleveland OHBirmingham ALCities with stable long term demographics: Kansas City MOIndianapolis INMemphis TNCities with secular demographic uptrend: Tampa FLAtlanta GADallas Fort Worth TXCharlotte NCCities that became too expensive for turnkey: Las Vegas NVOrlando FLPhoenix AZ

For example, Yucca Valley (permit moratorium), the entire county of Truckee area (STR permit moratorium), Twentynine Palms (next to Joshua Tree - str moratorium coming soon), San Francisco (killed mid-term stays - landlords have to rent 1 year or longer),  Las Vegas (only owner occupied airbnbs).All of those examples happened within the past 3 years - imagine if Big Bear did the same.

Heading to Phoenix and Vegas.

Have you ever been to SS convention in Vegas?

I heard this happened to Phoenix and Las Vegas during the Recession. 

Armand-Just got back from the buying summit in Vegas.  

--------------Federal report says home-flipping drove the housing bubbleBy Cristina SilvaThe Associated PressPublished: Tuesday, Dec 13, 2011 05:01AMLAS VEGAS — A new federal report indicates that speculative real estate investors played a larger role than originally thought in driving the housing bubble that led to record foreclosures and sent economies plummeting in Nevada, California, Arizona, Florida and other states.Researchers with the Federal Reserve Bank of New York found that investors who used low-down-payment, subprime credit to purchase multiple residential properties helped inflate home prices and are largely to blame for the recession.
