Investment Strategies I Recommend

Buy and hold: The Las Vegas population is projected to grow 15% by 2030. Long-term appreciation combined with rental income creates powerful wealth accumulation. Short-term rental (STR): With 40+ million annual visitors, well-located properties near the Strip or convention center can generate 2-3x traditional rental income. Note: Clark County regulations apply. Multi-family: Small multi-family (2-4 units) offers excellent cash flow and financing advantages. I'm seeing strong deals in the $500K – $900K range.
