@Guenevere F. you're going to need 20-25% down to get a mortgage.If you target $100k, that won't leave you any funds for closing cost, maintenance or emergency reserves.You could try targeting around $80k, but the $16k-$20k down payment would still not leave you with enough.If you buy under $80k, you're probably buying such a low-end property that it is unlikely to meet your performance expectations.

Proceeds could be reinvested in better-performing assets across multiple doors.Our goal is to build appreciation over cash flow, acquiring 1-4 doors/year to allow my wife to retire by 50.

As for properly collateralized performing notes in Vegas I think those are quite safe.

Other brands substituted and were the same.

Not performing the first couple of weeks..

The comps that do exist seem to be performing at a high-levelMarket Overvaluation?

Insignia is a Best Buy brand made by Hisnese.Check out their reviews online and see how people rate these.

That continuous flow of new nice properties wouldn't hurt your valuation, since they can go into something brand new instead of something that is 3 years old?

From my experience sometimes the best rates and terms come at the expense of harder underwriting, longer wait times, and sometimes a waste of time (because they can't perform). 

But I do have the knowledge, and the tools to perform those tasks.
