The Bottom Line

AvoidCarson City may be challenging for traditional rentals. High prices or low rents make cash flow difficult.

Carson City in Nevada scores 43/100, ranking #680 of 1,000 US counties (top 90%). The 4.28% rent-to-price ratio may require creative strategies or below-market purchases for positive cash flow. Current market conditions make traditional buy-and-hold investing challenging. Consider house hacking, value-add strategies, or all-cash purchases.
