Here is a great resource. https://www.areavibes.com/They give you a total livability score and you can type any address in 

Do you have any colleagues that service the Las Vegas area for this type of loan?

My plan is to add 2 - 6 shipping container type of small houses and an above ground pool at some point to make at least a section of the property short/mid term rentals.

Given that this is a duplex it would depend the type of tenants.

Are you still looking for this type of deals?

I just helped one of my clients do nearly the same type of deal (his was with 40 SFRs) where he refinanced with a local bank and cashed out 7 figures.

Or, should I focus on just holding these forever type deal and build a cashflow monster? 

@Vincent WeselakIt’s a good idea to get an estimate for your insurance costs upfront since this can vary based on the property type and location, and it’s a key factor in evaluating your cash flow. 

So, I am a vested party, but am not an employee, so have no employee type pressure.

Sounds like you are going with a Fannie/Freddie type loan based on the cap of 2%.
