I am going to try direct mail marketing in the near future.

I do plan on adding some of our income over time to future projects.

In the event that they can sell recreational marijuana in the future, it may increase a different kind of traffic, but I wouldn't worry about crime as much as other tenants in the center not being a good match if it's not free standing. 

And thabk you for future input.So, i have a property here in las vegas bought about 11/2 years ago for exactly 270,000 (owe 242,000 on it now).The houses (including my own) now valued around 340-370 (mine on zillow says 355k) my home is a 4 bed 3 bath 2560 sqft 2 story build 2015 (has 10 yr builder warranty) corner house in gated community...My original plan was to live in it while we settled into vegas, then rent it out and go buy another house however not only is the market here in vegas at an unknown is it going to continue to go up or down etc.

@Jamie YeagerWelcome to BP, and congratulations on making the decision to invest in your future via real estate.I have written a few blog posts that may help you get started here on BP, and with your investing.

I will keep you in mind for any future concerns or questions that I may have.

(i.e. who wants to buy a one bedroom house (should I decide to sell it in the future)?

I may try to gather some folks in the near future to have a very casual and less structured meet up, like maybe over a few drinks at a bar or something just for some ice breaking.

Its all about TRUST, the more you build up front, the easier it is in the future.

The only way I see it making sense to partner w/ him is if we got discounted labor rates or something, maybe free/discounted labor on repairs in future, but still not sure how exactly is a good structure.Input appreciated!!
