Thanks for the replies. I think you are right and it would be better to get more funds together over the next few months and try to put 50% down on a property. I may try to get between 30-40k for the deposit. Im a little worried about buying a property with taxes of some form owing against it without even realising. Id also need to do some serious work with working out how good the area in which a prospective investment is located. Im planning a trip to Las Vegas around may next year. Does anyone have any hot tips of which area to buy and which to avoid in las vegas?
