Hello, I plan to purchase a SFH home in las vegas to live in for the next 24mos. I plan to sell the home at that point as I ll be moving out of state. Alternatively, I’d rent the home for a few more years and then sell.
What should I look for in a home to increase resale ability, potential appreciation, and management ease if I rent?
I am somewhat familiar with the Las Vegas area but am new in the area as far as real estate is concerned.
Currently I m considering homes with the following criteria.
-single level
-south of I-215, west and east of the I-15.
- sub $300k
-1100-1500 sq ft
- garage and back yard
My goal is to break even after 2 years and hopefully make a little if appreciation continues during that time.
Am i on the right track? Any tips for someone new to the las vegas market (but with some RE experience)?
@Account Closed I'd add a minimum of 2 baths to your list. I like the idea of an attached garage with interior access to the house. Basically get rid of any functional issues. Try to get stuff close to new commercial development that will create localized jobs or enhance living experience.
