On one of my forays I discovered a talk by Jay Papasan, co-author of the One Thing and Millionaire Investor.

@Mitzi Pano how are you going to recognize a deal.

I don't think there is anything wrong with acting on your long-term plan here, but I do think that you should recognize whether or not you are someone who will feel very uncomfortable transacting right now, in the event that prices do fall in the hshort-term. 

Contact your housing authority or Department of Family Services to see what resources are available.

Avalara MyLodgeTax has a tool that can show you applicable taxes in your area, though I recommend verifying it with the tax authorities.

Also, you get higher rents with section 8.See link below for Southern Nevada Regional Housing Authority, SNRHA, it's the official name for section 8. 

Just contact the housing authority that has the contract and have them send you the docs.
