Not all zip codes perform equally—I help investors identify the properties with the best combination of cash flow and appreciation potential."— Dr. Jan Duffy, BHHS Nevada Properties

Understanding Las Vegas Investment Metrics
Successful real estate investing requires understanding key metrics and how they apply to the Las Vegas market specifically. Dr. Jan Duffy provides detailed analysis on every property, helping you make data-driven decisions rather than emotional ones.
Cap Rate (Capitalization Rate)
Net Operating Income ÷ Property Value. Las Vegas cap rates range from 4-6%, competitive with major metros. Higher cap rates typically mean higher risk neighborhoods.
Cash-on-Cash Return
Annual cash flow ÷ Cash invested. With 25% down payment and financing, Las Vegas properties often achieve 8-12% cash-on-cash returns through leverage.
Total Return
Cash flow + appreciation + loan paydown + tax benefits. Las Vegas's strong appreciation (4-6% annually) combined with rental income creates total returns of 12-18%.
Price-to-Rent Ratio
Property price ÷ Annual rent. Las Vegas ratios of 15-18 indicate healthy investment potential. Ratios above 20 suggest overpriced markets.
