Is there hope for Investors Las Vegas???

[Roland Gray]

So I'm reading a lot of messages on various boards and forums that Vegas is basically hopeless in regards to wholesaling, fix and flips etc. This is bad news for me as me and my family will be relocating there as totally new investors, after being missionaries for over a decade. (We will be staying with my wife's family for a couple of months) 

What I'd like to know is, are there any investors currently with "boots on the ground" who disagrees with these reports? Is there anyone successfully finding/doing deals consistently? If these reports are accurate, can anyone point us in the right direction on where we can start or what we should do to begin our investing careers? Should we focus out of state? Try another strategy in Vegas? We don't have a lot of cash so we're looking for a strategy that won't require a lot of cash up front. Hope to stir it up and hear some feedback from you Vegas folks soon. Thanks and God Bless!!!
