MLS Multiple listings service is another good way to find real estate investment opportunities. Since the multiple listing book is provided only to the real estate agents and not to the general public (unless you are very lucky), all the cream (good real estate investment opportunities) would have already been taken before you get to see the book. The key here is to look for expired listings that didnt get converted to a deal.
However, if you aren't satisfied, you can find a Las Vegas lender that will listen to you better.

You could use real estate as a means for supplementing your income either by buying at a lower price and selling at a higher price or by letting it out.
