Planning on Purchasing Duplex in Las Vegas, Any Tips?

[Yan Huang]

I am planning on purchasing 2 duplexes as an investment properties in Las Vegas (most likely North Las Vegas). I am looking at homes that are in the ballpark of $120,000 to $150,000 with gross rents averaging $1000 (roughly $500 per unit) monthly. 

I've purchased a single family property before but that was in Los Angeles and it was rented to family so this will be my first 2 investment properties. Do you guys have any tips of what I should look for or look out for? And also is my budget and how much rent is within reason as far as an investment goes?

Thanks in advance.

If you search for the BP post in the past, most comments on multi-family in Las Vegas are “no no”, because they are in class C-/D area.
Tenants in multi-family is a challenging issue.

Sounds like only SFR/townhouse/condo are good in Vegas.
