Honestly, one of the reasons why I invested in Vegas was because my dad is out there and can help me manage my properties (as well as me going there on a regular basis).
Investing in Las Vegas? Where do I start?

We have been. Rental parity is so so
Johns Creek renters must all be multi-year pay-in-advance tenants.

Yeah... I just don't know what kind of renters you'll get at either of those places.USCTrojanCPA said:

IHO,
There is both risk and reward for low end rentals and high end rentals. I think if you have nice home in a good neighborhood with good schools you will have a tenant that will stay for a long time, but may take a little longer to find a new tenant. I found this out by accident as one of my tenants is on his 5th year lease of $3000/month and my carrying cost is slightly under $2400. It is a large home 3500 sq/ft 5 bed/4 bath on a .25 acre lot.
I would assume the lower end homes in rough neighborhoods will have better cash flow but higher turn over rate. I target SFRs between 2500 - 3000 sq/ft with atleast 4 bed / 2.5 less than 5 years of age. You have to run the comps of how fast the homes get rented out, at what price, & inventory level within a school cluster. I also concentrate specially on school clusters. Some people invest all over : some in Vegas, Phoenix, Houston, and Dallas. I personally don't think this is a wise way to diversify. You can diversify by owning in different neighbors or buying some high end homes and low end homes in your own backyard. I think you will make more money if you concentrate in your backyard as your airfare, hotel, etc to check up on your out-of-state will eat into your ROI real quick. Most Property management companies suck, but there are only a few that are worth pursuing.
Again, this is just one man's opinion who is just starting out in Real estate investing.
