Hello BiggerPockets, I recently got the opportunity to purchase an off market property in Las Vegas about 15 minutes west of the strip. I live in New Jersey and would like to make this a medium term rental. Just curious what that market is like and if this is good idea for the area and what rates are like. It is a three bedroom/2 bathroom, about 1900 ft.² and has a pool. I would like to have a property manager run everything for me as well. Any suggestions? Thank you.

U want to google insurance companies who place their clients that have had fires etc.
thats what I do for the last 5 years.. top quality tenants no need for PM .. backed by insurance.
my unit normal rent about 2k we get double that.. ours is townhouse Gated prime area of Summerlin.. not all areas are great in Vegas the closer to the strip the grungier it gets.
Thanks Jay! I was thinking of that as well! I am looking in Rhodes ranch. How do you get double the rent? Do you ask for it or do they just pay but they think it’s worth?

u set the fee.. these are furnished of course. so in our case this was a second home we used for a few years so it was furnished .. not over the top like if we lived there permantly but still nice. for us location is what made it popular.. its never been more than 5 to 7 days to re rent.

Double check on what the HOA allows. 60 or 90 days minimum is going to be tough. Lots of vacancy.
Sounds good, thank you! One last question please 🙏… this is my first rodeo so it is only a 2BD/2BA condo in a community with really nice resort style amenities. Do you think that’s too small? Do they mainly look for houses?

I find that medium term rental sites like Furnished Finders do best with apartments and 2 bedroom accommodations. For a 3/2 you might have a hard time pricing it effectively for the MTR market. If you were to find mid-term rentals, I would suggest filling it up with Short Term Rental bookings in between MTR bookings

Vegas has pretty strict STR rules thats why folks go MTR there and the HOAs as well most wont allow them unless its in a condotel type thing.
