i think california is the best place to buy a new property , or secondly i would say vegs is the city if you really want to rent your property after buying .

you better move into your IP , and if you are alone , you better have rented some portion or the second way is to have a paying guest , it will also fulfill some of your needs .

they dont allow subdivision , that really spoils the image and look .but if the house is too very big it can be allowed after writing to your local development authority .
