Hi Sawyer, Reno is a great market to invest in.  I live in Tahoe and help investors in the area find the top investments in and around the Tahoe Reno area.  Happy to connect and share my resources.

Hey Justin there are some great places to invest out of Oregon like the Midwest, or TX.  I like the Nevada market around Reno.  There is tech and manufacturing job growth with Tesla, and multiple AI data centers being built. Constricted supply of housing will continue to drive rents and appreciation. 4th lowest property taxes in the US, no state income tax, and landlord friendly laws.  The mild weather and recreation pulls in people from CA. Worth a look. 

Cash. Everyone wants cashflow and you need more cash down to cashflow.

The easiest way to find them yourself is using the keyword search in Zillow. While not every agent will put VA assumable loan in the listing many will. You can also us search terms like financing, assumable, or other variations.

@Hernan Geria

Lots of strategies, locations, advice, and creative lending. Start with why you are investing and begin to set your goals.  This might change over time and then readjust your strategy and plan.  Best way to learn is to start!

@Fredrick C. Oesterle

Those are both good markets especially for those who invested before 2020. What do you think are the best markets to invest in outside of TX and CA to get the same appreciation with a lower cost of entry into the market?  I think Nevada but I live there so I'm biased.

If I'm looking at buying a townhome or condo and the HOA is high because there is a nice pool and nice gym. How much more rent per month are that worth to a long term renter or midterm renter? Will a tenant pay over market rents for those amenities? What percentage?

@Jon Steffen

Hi Jon, I'm in the Lake Tahoe, NV area and there are some different options for the Ski Lease, STR and MTR. There are a few strategies that our clients use. Happy to share some information on the area.

@Elvis Occ

Restaurant bars, and coffee shops in the financial areas or near financial advisors, or large offices will have a higher chance of meeting people that are investing in real estate. Get good at chatting. 

@Jesse S.

There are many markets to invest in. Most people will say the Midwest, TX, FL. They all have their pros and cons. Think about what works for your life and lifestyle. Investing in real estate is not really that passive especially starting out. Take into account the travel time, phone / video time, mistakes along with all the other economic factors. Success will come with diligent planning, research, good people, healthy fear, and learning from mistakes.

I recommend investing to start in places you can get to an home in a day whether that is a flight or drive.  For CA investors Nevada has many tax, landlord, and market job growth advantages. Vegas has lower barrier to entry and Reno has strong appreciation and equity growth.  Lastly consider why you are investing and let that be your guide.
