Investors in Las Vegas Property Investments
For anyone looking to invest in Las Vegas now is certainly the time. Many investors from all over the nation and Canada are honing in on the “steals’ in real estate in the southern Nevada area. All around Las Vegas and many of the master planned communities in Summerlin, Rhodes Ranch and Henderson are seeing foreclosures, just like other places all over the United States. What this means for investors, is that these luxury homes are now selling for so much less than anyone can imagine. Investors, whether looking for long term or short term profit are flocking to the Las Vegas area in ensure they get a piece of this sought after real estate.
The housing market is steadily making a change for the better, which means that all the homes that are now in foreclosure are practically all gone. Yes, individuals and investors knew a good thing when they saw it and purchased these homes, which is helping the housing market here in Las Vegas, start recovering. The problem for investors is that if they do not get in now before all the Las Vegas foreclosures are gone, the inventory will be very low. Once the inventory is low, prices will rise as there will not be enough Las Vegas investment properties on the market for those looking to buy.
The bottom line in the housing market in Las Vegas is that inventory has decreased drastically the last couple of months, interest rates are still wonderful, and prices are so below the norm that you may faint at what you can get for your money.
At the time of this writing, Fannie Mae is offering a Non-Owner Occupancy loan for investors with terms of 10 percent down at 7 percent. The program is called HomePath, but there are only a few lenders that are registered with Fannie Mae to process these loans. You may not believe this, but all over Las Vegas, the median price for a home is $142,000 with many more at $100,000, meaning you can obtain a great rental property for only $10,000 down.
Investors that are serious about buying investment property at a great price and receiving more than they bargained for, should check out Las Vegas before all the properties are gone. Today, investors can find single-family homes, condos, townhouses, golf homes, luxury homes, and other properties that will surely put them in the profit column in a short amount of time.

This is a good example of how the recession has been useful to some people. Just like investing in shares, a decrease in property prices is a real opportunity to make a profit.
The Wild West is the best bet for investment in our country. With the expansion of green technology Nevada and Arizona will bounce back form the recession leftover by the real estate bubble.
this one is great .perfectly written. . thanks .keep sharing.
I have read that sales have gone up substantially in Vegas, though high-end properties are still sluggish. Would you say that is true?
The latest statistic that I read says that more than 75% of the most recent homes sold in Las Vegas are foreclosure properties. Investors are out in droves to take advantage of the bargain prices. For the past six months in San Diego the banks have been keeping the majority of the foreclosure properties off the market. That is expected to change in September and October with the release of a large amount of “shadow inventory.” Investors are anxious for the opportunity to buy.
Thanks for the info. I agree that the market is changing for the better. The company I work for has also begun to buy large amounts of foreclosed land and has already sold a few of those properties.
Nice written by you. Its good to read it.Las Vegas is a very good place to invest at this time.
I agree that Las Vegas now has the best bargain on investment properties in the country. I’ve done a lot of research and I definitely believe that this spot has it all. My company is in the middle of making two purchases thanks to the great prices.
I am in a market that is largely simular to Las Vegas only on a smaller scale. It is so nice to see some positive news on the las vegas area. Keep up the good work!
It’s buyer’s market…take the opportunity & invest in Las Vegas..by the way where’s the good place to live in Las Vegas??
The nice thing now is I am writing offers on 100,000 dollar single family homes.If you can find the write mix of low association fees, low tax and nice rental area with the 1000 to 1100 a month rents, you are netting 10% roi for cash purchases! You can’t get that with a CD. You can put that in stocks but at least if the housing market dropped 50% more, you can move in, cook some grilled cheese sandwiches and talk about the good ole days!
is buying near the Vegas STRIP smarter than buying in a more secluded area with better school?
What are some good places to buy in Vegas whereby it is good for pets?
Two worst hit segments during the downturn was real estate and the automobiles. I am glad to see that real estate market is shaping up much better than it was earlier. I wish the bailout packages for the automobile industries do something wonderful.
@Admin – I cannot find anywhere in the posts that gives the name of the author of this post. It would be nice if you could end your posts with a signature or add some sort of similar feature to your theme.
Anyways it is nice to see that the Las Vegas market is showing signs of recovering. I think that unless the feds continue with the tax credit through next year that there is a good chance that we will see a double dip in housing market values. I say this for a couple of reasons. First I feel like a very large percentage of first time home buyers that have entered this market have done so because of the stimulus. This being the case you remove it and the next set of those buyers will likely sit on the sidelines until employment figures get significantly better. The other reason I say this is I have not heard of a market yet that does not have an excessive amount of inventory in the luxury market. This problem will make for declines on the high end which at minimum will lead to a ceiling for the rest of residential properties. I figure it will likely bring pricing down as well.
its really hard to imagin that houses can be that cheap. it sounds like a good investment. ill have to look into this concept.
Property in East or West ‘UpMarketArea’ gets pushed as being a bargain during a boom. After the bust, only ‘UpMarketArea Central’ retains its value.
When vanity projects start going up the smart money starts getting out.
Location is still the key criterion. If you can find a bargain in an upmarket area, get stuck in, I say.
With the endless opportunities Las Vegas can offer, no doubt investors love investing there.
Investing in the real estate market is good. Now that you have written good post, I am sure that it would benefit a lot of people in some little ways where they can gain insights and thoughts to ponder. It’s good that Las Vegas is a place for buying investment property even though we’re experiencing economic downturns. This shows that we can beat the odds and we keep on developing! Great post!
I is hard to argue that now is a good time to invest in property in Las Vegas…but recent data suggest the median may fall to a bottom of about $102,000. So, now is the time to research but time is still on your side.
Las Vegas has always been a fantastic playground for many investors. Wherever there’s investment activity, there will be deals to be had.
http://www.goinvestreo.com now has REO properties for sale in Las Vegas if you want to consider these great deals for investments.
Property investments in Calgary have evolved so small investors can participate in the profits while someone else looks after the hassles.
If more people invested in property I think they would have a more stable financial plan. We may have had a down turn but we know property always bounce back. I think Vegas has everything, an expanding city and massive tourism. It has to be a good medium term bet.
I’m trying to figure out the following statement from your article:
“Investors that are serious about buying investment property at a great price and receiving more than they bargained for, should check out Las Vegas before all the properties are gone.”
Are you implying that the inventory of investment properties will actually run out? Certainly you know that there will always be deals in any market, right?
This kind of “hype” marketing doesn’t serve anyone well. It only tends to bring more uninformed “investors” into the fray, who typically don’t have a clue what they are getting themselves into, to their own detriment.
I am also glad to see that its turning around for the better, however i would love to see locals benefit more than investors! but whatever it will take to get the market back on track…
The housing market has practically come to a standstill despite the consequences brought by the economic crisis. Glad to know that Las Vegas still manages to do better. I have been looking for a nice place to live and came across Utah Homes and I thought it’s nice =)
