K....For investment as rental, I suggested Phx or Tuc because of demand, nothing more. If you stay where you are and never move, I would say those are the best moves in Az, in Nevada, for the same purpose, def any small town near Vegas, for same reason, but you will get more growth in property value from the "near" towns versus the "big" towns. If your end goal is not to live there, but to "grow" real estate value...small towns near big ones is what's for you.
