First off, big respect for getting your Nevada real estate license and sticking with Dave Ramsey’s plan, that’s no joke, and it’ll pay off for sure.For getting to know the Vegas market better, I’d say start by hanging out where other investors and Realtors are: BiggerPockets forums, local meetups, even Facebook groups.

Just my two cents, but if there are any adjacent fields within your career that you can pivot to to make things more enjoyable / tolerable, it could be helpful to hang on to the W2 while investing. 

Hang in there, and best of luck getting it filled soon.

Neighbors that come to the garage sale will see the sign and you might even want to hang around if it is a busy place.

You can even give a timeframe, like October 25th through the 31st, applications are being accepted etc.Lastly: As far as you leasing to low score high-risk tenants right now...don’t fall for the low hanging fruit.

This means that house hackers are a great option (I've sold many properties to house hackers), I wouldn't hang your hat on it. 

But they would go a step further and say don't hang sings in specific local cities.

Wealthy people tend to hang out with other wealthy people.

Fix and flip 1-2 properties per year $180-200k purchase (light cosmetic updates), $260k resale, and hang on to 1 rental property a year if I decide I like the rental situation in a middle income area, 1031 exchange2.

Baltimore and the suburbs have many good opportunities for RE but it isn't the low hanging fruit it used to be.
