Henderson is where Las Vegas investors go when they stop chasing the highest cap rate on paper and start chasing the tenant who pays on the first of the month, renews for a third year, and treats the property like their own. It is the second-largest city in Nevada, it carries the valley's strongest school reputation and lowest crime profile, and it prices accordingly — which means the landlord math here works differently than it does two freeway exits north.
I have watched out-of-state buyers pull up a spreadsheet, see a Henderson gross yield that trails North Las Vegas by a full point, and cross the city off the list — and I have watched many of those same investors come back three years later asking what is still available in Green Valley. This guide lays out the honest version of the numbers so you can make that call once, correctly: what Henderson rentals actually earn, what they honestly cap at, where the entry points hide, and how Nevada's tax code quietly pads the return.
Henderson is the valley's premium rental market: honest cap rates run roughly 4% to 5%, but tenant quality, school-driven demand, and long-term appreciation are the strongest in Southern Nevada. Nevada Real Estate Group's live GLVAR feed shows 2,476 Henderson actives at a $540,823 median, with 190 condos at a $277,450 median as the cleanest entry. Call (702) 637-1759 and run the numbers before you write an offer.
- Henderson cap rates honestly land near 4% to 5% — lower yield, stronger tenants and appreciation.
- 190 active condos at a $277,450 median are the cheapest entry — Green Valley leads.
- Single-family rentals fetch roughly $2,500 to $4,000 a month, the valley's top rents.
- Nevada charges zero state income tax on rental income, and property taxes stay low.
- Long-term rentals beat STRs here — Henderson permits are tight and master plans prohibit them.

Why Does Henderson Punch Above Its Weight for Rental Investors?
Every rental market sells one of two things: yield or quality. Henderson sells quality, and it is not shy about the price tag.
The city runs on fundamentals that landlords in most metros would trade for: a population of roughly 330,000 that has grown steadily for three decades, a median household income near $84,000 that leads the major cities in the valley, and an employment base anchored by healthcare, technology, and logistics rather than the casino floor. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, Henderson's median household income runs well above both the Las Vegas and national figures — and household income is the single best predictor of the thing landlords actually care about, which is a tenant who pays reliably and stays longer.
The demand side compounds it. Families move to Henderson for schools and safety and then rent for a year or two while they shop — that "trial year" renter is one of the most reliable tenant profiles in the valley, because they chose the zip code before they chose the house. Corporate relocations to the medical corridor around St. Rose and the industrial and tech employers in West Henderson do the same thing. The result is a rental pool that skews toward two-income professional households competing for a limited stock of well-kept homes, which is exactly the imbalance a landlord wants to own.
What Henderson does not sell is a bargain. The entry price is the highest of any major city in the valley, and the gross yield is the lowest. That is not a flaw in the strategy — it is the strategy. The rest of this guide quantifies the trade.
What Does the Henderson Investment Market Look Like Right Now?
Here is the live picture, pulled directly from Nevada Real Estate Group's GLVAR MLS feed on July 12, 2026 — methodology: status, style, and price-band counts across all active and 90-day-sold Henderson listings, from the same feed that powers our site search:
| Metric | Figure | Investor read |
|---|---|---|
| Active listings (all types) | 2,476 | Real selection — negotiate, don't chase |
| Median list price | $540,823 | The premium-suburb price of admission |
| Closed sales, last 90 days | 1,031 | Liquid market — exits work here |
| Median sold price (90 days) | $499,900 | Solds clearing about 7.6% under median ask |
| Median days on market (solds) | 28 | Priced right still moves in a month |
| Actives under $450,000 | 813 | The entry-investor band is one-third of inventory |
| Active condos / median list | 190 / $277,450 | Cheapest door in the city |
| Active townhouses / median list | 306 / $379,700 | The middle path — SFR tenant, condo price |
| Active single-family / median list | 1,785 / $599,900 | The appreciation asset |
| Active no-HOA listings | 289 | Scarce — HOA-free Henderson is a niche |
A few of those numbers deserve a second look. The gap between the $540,823 median list and the $499,900 median sold price tells you the 2026 Henderson market rewards patient buyers — sellers are anchoring high and meeting the market on the way down, and the average sale is taking 42 days from list to contract. The 813 active listings under $450,000 mean the entry-investor band is genuinely shoppable for the first time in several years. And the 289 no-HOA actives confirm what every Henderson landlord learns quickly: this is an HOA city, and association rules and fees belong in every underwriting model from day one.
According to Las Vegas REALTORS, the broader valley has spent 2026 hovering near balanced-market conditions, with inventory well above the starvation levels of 2021 and 2022. Balanced markets are acquisition markets. The investors we work with are using the leverage to win price reductions, seller-paid rate buydowns, and repair credits that were unthinkable three years ago.
What Do Henderson Rentals Actually Rent For in 2026?
Henderson sits at the top of the valley's rent curve, and the spread by property type is wide enough to change your whole strategy. Apartments and condos generally lease in the $1,500 to $2,100 range depending on size and community. Townhomes typically land between $2,000 and $2,500. Single-family homes run roughly $2,500 to $4,000, with newer builds in Inspirada and larger homes in Green Valley Ranch and Anthem pushing the top of that band and beyond. We published a full neighborhood-by-neighborhood breakdown in our average rent in Henderson guide, so I will not duplicate the block-level detail here — for underwriting purposes, the numbers that matter are the ranges above and the fact that Henderson rents consistently clear the valley average by a meaningful margin.
The premium is not cosmetic. A three-bedroom house zoned to Henderson's best-rated schools rents faster, at a higher price, to a deeper applicant pool than a physically identical house eight miles northwest. In my experience, well-priced Henderson single-family rentals in the family corridors lease within two to three weeks with multiple qualified applications — and the applicant quality is the real story, with two-income professional households and relocating medical staff dominating the pool.
Two practical rules follow. First, underwrite the rent conservatively at the bottom of the band for the property type and pocket, and let the leasing market surprise you upward — never the reverse. Second, remember that Henderson tenants are shopping schools and commute first, finishes second. A modest kitchen in the right elementary zone beats a renovated one in the wrong zone, which has direct consequences for where your renovation dollar goes.
Who Actually Rents in Henderson — and Why Does That Matter?
The tenant profile is Henderson's quiet advantage, and it flows straight from the employment map.
The healthcare corridor is the anchor. The St. Rose Dominican hospital network — including the flagship Siena campus in Henderson — plus the surrounding constellation of surgical centers, specialty clinics, and medical offices employs thousands of physicians, nurses, and technicians, many of them relocating on contracts and renting first. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, healthcare has been one of the fastest-growing employment sectors in the Las Vegas metro for years, and Henderson captures a disproportionate share of those paychecks because the hospitals are here and the workforce wants to live near them.
West Henderson is the growth engine. The industrial and advanced-manufacturing build-out along the St. Rose and Raiders Way corridors — anchored by the Raiders' headquarters and practice facility, large-scale distribution and fulfillment operations, and Haas Automation's manufacturing campus — is stacking well-paid technical jobs on Henderson's edge. Add the Google data center investment on the east side and you get an employer mix that looks more like a diversified Sun Belt suburb than a casino town. Tourism softness that rattles other valley submarkets barely registers in a Henderson leasing office.
For a landlord, that profile converts into specific, measurable outcomes: higher application quality, longer average tenancies, lower delinquency, and gentler turns. Across the 9,600+ closings our team has represented, the pattern we see in Henderson investor resales is consistent — the operating history that convinces the next buyer to pay up is built on exactly this tenant base. You are not just buying the house; you are buying the applicant pool.
What Do Cap Rates Honestly Look Like at Henderson Prices?
Here is the section most Henderson investment content dodges, so let me be direct: at 2026 prices and rents, an honestly underwritten Henderson long-term rental caps in the high-3s to low-5s. Not 7%. Not the pro-forma 6.2% you saw on a wholesaler's flyer. If someone shows you a Henderson deal capping above 6% with professional management, vacancy, and reserves all included, a number in that model is wrong.
Work a real example. Take a $450,000 Green Valley-area townhome or small single-family home leasing at $2,450 a month:
| Line item | Annual amount | Assumption |
|---|---|---|
| Gross scheduled rent | $29,400 | $2,450 a month, bottom-of-band underwriting |
| Vacancy and credit loss | ($1,470) | 5% — conservative for Henderson demand |
| Property taxes | ($2,700) | Roughly 0.6% effective on market value |
| Insurance | ($1,200) | Landlord policy, liability included |
| HOA dues | ($1,800) | $150 a month — typical for the product |
| Maintenance and reserves | ($2,200) | Turns, systems, make-ready budget |
| Professional management (8%) | ($2,352) | Standard Henderson LTR management fee |
| Net operating income | $17,678 | Cap rate: about 3.9% managed / 4.5% self-managed |
Run the same honest math on the other entry points and the band holds. A $270,000 Green Valley condo leasing at $1,650 grosses $19,800, but $290 a month in HOA dues plus taxes, insurance, reserves, and management pulls the managed cap to roughly 3.9% — the condo's cheaper door does not buy a higher yield, because the association takes its cut off the top. A $600,000 single-family home at $3,200 a month caps near 4.0% managed. Self-managing owners add roughly half a point across the board. Buy 3% to 5% under ask — which the 2026 market is granting — and you claw back another quarter point.
Compare that with older North Las Vegas and east Las Vegas stock, where honest managed caps still reach the mid-5s and occasionally 6%. That spread is real, and it is the whole decision: Henderson pays you less in year-one yield and more in everything else — tenant quality, vacancy, turn costs, appreciation, and exit liquidity. According to Freddie Mac's Primary Mortgage Market Survey, 30-year rates have held in the mid-6% range through mid-2026, so leveraged Henderson deals are negative-to-neutral on year-one cash flow at 20% down. Nobody buys Henderson for year one. You buy it for years three through fifteen — and the rate-refinance option is a free upside kicker if the Freddie Mac curve keeps drifting down.
Where Are Henderson's Entry Points for a First Rental Property?
The $540,823 citywide median scares off entry investors who never look one layer deeper. Look deeper: 813 of Henderson's 2,476 actives — nearly a third of the market — are listed under $450,000, and they cluster in exactly the places a first-time landlord should be hunting.
The older Green Valley condo and townhome stock is the classic play. These are 1980s and 1990s communities along the Sunset, Warm Springs, and Green Valley Parkway corridors — mature landscaping, resort-style pools, and floor plans that lease instantly to the medical and professional tenant pool working nearby. Our live feed shows 190 active Henderson condos at a $277,450 median list, and the 65 condo sales that closed in the last 90 days had a median of just $259,000. That sold-versus-list gap is your negotiating map: condo sellers are accepting real discounts, and a disciplined buyer can regularly land a leasable Green Valley unit in the $240,000s to $270,000s.
Townhomes are the underrated middle. With 306 actives at a $379,700 median, Henderson townhomes deliver a single-family-style tenant — families, garages, small yards — at two-thirds of the detached price. They carry HOA dues, but usually with roof-and-exterior coverage that partially offsets your reserve budget, and they rent in the $2,000 to $2,500 band that keeps the math respectable.
Older detached homes in Green Valley proper, the Whitney Ranch area, and original midtown Henderson round out the under-$450,000 band. These are the appreciation-plus-yield hybrids: 1,200 to 1,800 square feet, built in the 1980s and 1990s, renting at $2,200 to $2,700. They need more capex honesty than the condos — roofs, HVAC, and water heaters are all on the clock at that vintage — but they are the product that has minted more long-term Henderson landlord wealth than anything else in the city. Start your screen on the Henderson homes-for-sale hub with a $450,000 cap and watch what the algorithm serves you.
Should You Buy a Condo, Townhome, or Single-Family Rental in Henderson?
Each product solves a different problem. Here is the honest side-by-side, using live July 12, 2026 figures from our GLVAR feed:
| Dimension | Condo | Townhome | Single-family |
|---|---|---|---|
| Active inventory | 190 | 306 | 1,785 |
| Median list price | $277,450 | $379,700 | $599,900 |
| Typical monthly rent | $1,500–$1,800 | $2,000–$2,500 | $2,500–$4,000 |
| Honest managed cap rate | High 3s | Low-to-mid 4s | About 4%, better on discounts |
| Biggest cost drag | HOA dues ($250–$350 a month) | HOA dues, partially offset by exterior coverage | Capex — roofs, HVAC, landscaping |
| Tenant profile | Singles, medical staff, relocators | Small families, professional couples | Families, executives, long stays |
| Appreciation engine | Slowest of the three | Tracks the SFR market at a lag | Strongest — land and school zoning |
| Financing friction | Highest — condo warrantability review | Moderate | Lowest — standard investment loan |
The pattern I walk buyers through: condos minimize your check size and your management burden, but the HOA takes the yield and the appreciation curve is the flattest — they are a cash-parking and learning vehicle more than a wealth engine. Single-family homes are the opposite: the biggest check, the strongest tenant, and the appreciation asset, because you own the land and the school zoning. Townhomes split the difference well enough that they are my default recommendation for a first Henderson door when the budget reaches the high $300,000s. One financing note that surprises out-of-state buyers: condo loans in Nevada go through a warrantability review of the association's finances and rental ratio, so involve your lender before you offer on a condo, not after — a failed review at day twenty of a thirty-day escrow is an expensive lesson.
Which Henderson Pockets Deliver the Best Landlord Value?
Henderson is a city of master plans, and each one leases differently.
Green Valley and Green Valley Ranch are the rental core. Mature, central, saturated with employment and retail, and stocked with the widest range of product from $260,000 condos to $700,000 executive homes. Green Valley Ranch commands the premium — The District, the resort, the schools — while older Green Valley delivers the value math. If I could only own rental property in one square mile of the valley, it would be here.
Whitney Ranch and midtown Henderson are the yield pockets. Older stock, smaller lots, entry pricing in the $300,000s to low $400,000s for detached homes, and steady blue-collar and healthcare tenant demand. The caps run a quarter to half a point better than the citywide average, at the cost of older systems and more hands-on management.
Anthem and Seven Hills are the executive-lease markets, sitting alongside the valley's luxury communities and guard-gated enclaves. Bigger homes, view lots, and a tenant pool of relocating executives and pre-purchase luxury families paying $3,000 to $4,000-plus. Vacancy risk is higher because the applicant pool is thinner, but the tenants who do land treat the homes beautifully and the appreciation profile is elite.
Inspirada and Cadence are the new-construction plays. Builder inventory means occasional incentive deals — rate buydowns and closing credits that improve year-one math meaningfully — and brand-new systems mean near-zero capex for the first decade. The trade is higher HOA structures and rent bands that have not fully matured yet. For a full picture of every community, the Henderson city hub breaks down each master plan individually.
How Do Nevada's Tax Advantages Change the Landlord Math?
This is where the spreadsheet the out-of-state buyer built in California or New York quietly understates the Henderson return, because the comparison is never just cap rate versus cap rate — it is after-tax dollars versus after-tax dollars.
Start with the headline: Nevada levies zero state income tax. Every dollar of net rental income a Henderson property produces lands on your federal return and stops there. A California landlord with the same building pays up to 9.3% or more of net rental income to Sacramento; a New York landlord does similar damage in Albany. On a portfolio producing $40,000 of net annual income, escaping a 9% state levy is $3,600 a year — roughly the equivalent of adding half a point of cap rate that never shows up in a listing pro-forma. (Nevada residents get the same break on the eventual capital gain when they sell, which compounds the case for actually moving here — plenty of our investor clients eventually do.)
Property taxes are the second, quieter advantage. According to the Clark County Assessor, Nevada assesses property at 35% of taxable value, and the resulting effective bills on Henderson homes typically land near 0.5% to 0.75% of market value — a fraction of what Texas or Illinois landlords carry. Better still for a buy-and-hold investor, Nevada's abatement law under NRS 361.4723 caps annual property-tax increases — 3% for owner-occupied homes and up to 8% for rentals and other property — so a runaway assessment cannot silently eat a decade of rent growth.
Layer on the federal toolkit — depreciation on the building over 27.5 years per IRS Publication 527, deductible mortgage interest, management, HOA dues, insurance, travel, and the 1031 exchange to roll gains forward — and the honest after-tax picture of a "4.5% cap" Henderson rental starts looking considerably better than the raw number. According to the Nevada Department of Taxation, there is also no state-level tax on the rental revenue itself for standard long-term residential leases — transient lodging taxes only enter the picture if you operate short stays, which brings us to the next decision.
Should Henderson Landlords Go Long-Term or Short-Term Rental?
For most Henderson investors in 2026, long-term is not just the safer answer — it is the structurally correct one, and the reasons are written into the city's rulebook and its CC&Rs.
Henderson does permit short-term rentals, but through a deliberately narrow gate: a permit process with distance-separation requirements, occupancy limits, and real enforcement teeth — we broke down the entire program, fees, and application flow in our Henderson short-term rental rules and permits guide. The bigger wall is private, not municipal: the master-planned communities that make up most of Henderson's housing stock — Green Valley Ranch, Anthem, Inspirada, Seven Hills, and the rest — prohibit sub-30-day rentals through their CC&Rs regardless of what the city allows. According to the City of Henderson, a permit application still fails if the underlying association prohibits the use, which removes the majority of the city's inventory from STR consideration before you even start.
The math seals it. Henderson is a residential suburb eight to fifteen miles from the Strip; nightly-rate demand here is a shadow of the resort corridor's, while long-term rents are the strongest in the valley. You would be fighting the permit gauntlet to earn hospitality revenue in the wrong location while giving up the premium tenant demand that is the whole reason to buy Henderson. The investors who want STR economics buy in the eligible Las Vegas and Clark County zones instead — a different playbook we cover in why investors choose Las Vegas rental property. In Henderson, the winning structure is the 12-month lease to the relocating nurse, engineer, or pre-purchase family, renewed as many times as they will sign. A furnished mid-term rental — 30 to 90 days, aimed at traveling medical staff near the St. Rose corridor — is the one worthwhile hybrid, clearing both the city ordinance and most CC&Rs while renting at a 20% to 40% premium over an unfurnished lease.
What Does the Long-Term Appreciation Case for Henderson Look Like?
Appreciation is the second engine of a Henderson hold, and it deserves the same honesty as the cap-rate section: nobody can promise you a growth rate. What the evidence supports is a durable premium, and the mechanics behind it are structural rather than cyclical.
Henderson is running out of dirt in the places people most want to live. The city is hemmed by the McCullough Range, federal land, and build-out in its mature cores — Green Valley has been effectively complete for two decades, which is precisely why its homes keep repricing upward instead of competing with a new phase across the street. New supply concentrates in West Henderson and Cadence at price points above the resale stock, which drags the whole market's floor upward. According to the Federal Housing Finance Agency, the Las Vegas metro's house price index has compounded strongly across the last decade despite the 2022–2023 rate shock, and within the metro, Henderson has persistently traded at a premium to the valley at large — our live feed's $540,823 Henderson median against the valley's roughly $472,000 tells that story in a single comparison.
The demand side is the West Henderson jobs build-out, the healthcare expansion, and the relocation pipeline from higher-cost states that shows no sign of reversing. Buyers who cross-shop the valley's two premium submarkets — Henderson and Summerlin — will find the same structural story on both sides: constrained land, top schools, and a persistent price premium. For the landlord, appreciation does double duty: it grows equity, and it grows rents, because Henderson rents have historically tracked its home values. The five-to-ten-year Henderson hold has been one of the most reliable wealth trades in Nevada real estate. In my experience, the investors who regret Henderson are almost always the ones who sold it — check what your current property would trade for with our home value estimator and you will see the pattern in your own numbers.
How Do Out-of-State Landlords Run Henderson Rentals Smoothly?
A large share of the Henderson investor deals we close are for buyers in California, Washington, Utah, and the Northeast who may see the property twice in a decade. The playbook that keeps those portfolios boring — in the best sense — has four parts.
Professional management, priced in from underwriting. Henderson long-term management typically runs about 8% of collected rent plus a leasing fee. The self-management temptation is real at these tenant-quality levels, but a 300-mile landlord needs someone local for the 2 a.m. water heater, Nevada-compliant notices, and lease renewals timed to the market. If you priced 8% into the deal and choose to self-manage later, every basis point is upside.
Nevada landlord-tenant fluency. Nevada is a comparatively landlord-workable state — no statewide rent control, security deposits capped at three months' rent, and defined notice-and-cure timelines — but the rules in NRS Chapter 118A are specific about habitability, deposit accounting, and notice service, and Clark County courts expect them followed to the letter. Good management earns its fee here alone.
An entity and insurance stack sized to the asset. Most of our out-of-state clients hold Henderson property in an LLC with a proper landlord policy and an umbrella above it. Nevada's business-friendly framework makes the structure inexpensive to maintain; your CPA and attorney make the final call.
A local acquisition team that works investor-grade. The difference between a good and mediocre Henderson buy is made before the offer: rent verification against actual leases, HOA document review for rental caps and pending special assessments, capex inspection on 1990s systems, and negotiation calibrated to the 42-day average market time. That is the file we build on every investor purchase — start the conversation through our buyer services page or search live inventory anytime on our statewide search.
Why Do Rental Investors Work With Nevada Real Estate Group?
Because investment purchases punish casual representation, and Henderson's premium prices raise the cost of every mistake. An owner-occupant who overpays by 2% lives in the mistake comfortably; an investor who overpays by 2% on a $500,000 asset gave away two years of net cash flow on day one.
Nevada Real Estate Group is the #1-ranked real estate team in Nevada, with more than $4.85 billion in career sales volume, 9,600+ closed transactions, and 789 closings in 2025 alone — meet the team here. Our investor practice runs on the same live GLVAR data you have seen throughout this guide — real medians, real sold-to-list gaps, real days-on-market — plus HOA forensics, rent-roll verification, and the lender, CPA, and property-management bench an out-of-state landlord actually needs. We represent Henderson rental buyers and sellers every month, from $250,000 Green Valley condos to Anthem executive leases, and we will tell you honestly when a deal caps at 3.9% and whether that is the right 3.9% for your plan.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Henderson a good place to buy rental property in 2026?
Yes — if you are optimizing for tenant quality, low vacancy, and long-term appreciation rather than maximum year-one yield. Henderson delivers the valley's strongest rents ($2,500 to $4,000 for single-family homes), its most reliable tenant pool, and a persistent price premium, but honest cap rates run roughly 4% to 5%. Investors chasing the highest immediate cash flow do better in older North Las Vegas or east Las Vegas stock; investors building ten-year wealth keep choosing Henderson.
What do rental properties in Henderson typically rent for?
Condos and apartments generally lease between $1,500 and $2,100 a month, townhomes between $2,000 and $2,500, and single-family homes between $2,500 and $4,000, with executive homes in Anthem and Green Valley Ranch clearing more. School zoning moves rent more than finishes do — the same floor plan can lease for $200 to $300 a month more in a top elementary zone.
What is a realistic cap rate for a Henderson rental?
With professional management, vacancy, and reserves honestly included, most Henderson long-term rentals cap between 3.9% and 5% in 2026. Self-management adds roughly half a point; buying under ask — realistic in a market where the median sale closes about 7.6% below the median list — adds another quarter point. Treat any Henderson pro-forma above 6% as a red flag with a missing expense line.
Should my first Henderson rental be a condo or a single-family home?
Budget usually decides. Condos start near $277,450 (median list) and minimize both check size and management load, but HOA dues flatten the yield and appreciation trails detached homes. Townhomes at a $379,700 median are the best first-door compromise — single-family-style tenants at two-thirds of the detached price. If you can reach the single-family band, the land and school zoning make it the superior fifteen-year asset.
Where are the best value pockets for Henderson rental investors?
Older Green Valley for condos and townhomes, Whitney Ranch and midtown Henderson for entry-priced detached yield, Green Valley Ranch and Anthem for premium executive leases, and Inspirada or Cadence for new-build plays with builder incentives. The under-$450,000 band currently holds 813 active listings — nearly a third of the Henderson market — so the entry inventory genuinely exists.
Can I run a short-term rental in Henderson instead of a long-term lease?
Usually not effectively. Henderson requires an STR permit with separation and occupancy rules, and most master-planned communities prohibit sub-30-day rentals through CC&Rs regardless of the city permit — which disqualifies the majority of the housing stock. Combined with suburban nightly-rate demand far below the resort corridor, long-term or furnished mid-term leasing is the structurally better Henderson strategy for most owners.
How do I manage a Henderson rental if I live out of state?
Budget professional management at roughly 8% of collected rent plus a leasing fee, hold the asset in an entity with a proper landlord and umbrella insurance stack, and let local pros handle Nevada's specific notice and deposit rules under NRS 118A. Henderson's tenant quality makes remote ownership about as low-drama as landlording gets — but only when the local team is in place before the first lease is signed.
Do I pay state income tax on Henderson rental income?
Not to Nevada — the state levies no personal income tax, so net rental income is taxed federally only. Note that your home state may still tax income you earn from a Nevada property if you reside elsewhere, which is a question for your CPA. Nevada residents keep both the rental income and the eventual sale gain free of state income tax, which is a meaningful piece of the total-return math.
