I agree with Ned. You need to walk through the competition to see what you're up against.

What do you have against signs? I've had the best luck with these.

There are a couple of groups for people in Vegas, but they aren't very active.

@Larry K. makes a good point. It's not necessary to spend a bunch of money on "the secrets of everything" courses. Just get out there and do some networking.

Peter,
I sent you a colleague request. You should be able to pm once accepted.

Go to meetup.com to find a list. Most aren't very active. There is one meeting this Tuesday night at The Orleans. I don't remember the name, but I'm sure you can find out more if you google.

There are things you can do ahead of time that will help with future projects where FHA buyers are likely:
1. Make sure your property meets FHA miminum standards for safety, soundness, and security.
2. Get familiar with FHA appraisal guidelines. (www.HUD.gov)
3. Know that most lenders have additional requirements they put on top of the FHA requirements. These may be things like having certain appliances, landscaping, etc.
4. Know your local building codes for things like GFI outlets, water heater tie-downs, etc.

Welcome to BP Francisco!

My suggestion would be to keep reading the articles and posts on this site. Networking on the web and in person is also great. Have you checked out any of the Las Vegas real estate investment clubs?

What about buying the cart and leasing it to some one with more food experience? I'm sure there's a lot of aspiring chefs out there that have wanted to make a go of this concept, but lack the capital.

Rich,

I don't blame you. It get's mighty cold up there!!
