Short-Term Rental investing in Las Vegas

Short-term rental financing in Las Vegas is a different underwriting product than a long-term DSCR loan even though it carries the same name. The lender is crediting nightly revenue instead of a signed lease, which means the documentation, the reserve requirement, and the permit diligence all change.

At the Las Vegas median of $200,000, a short-term rental prices near $200,000. Minimum down is 25% ($50,000), leaving a loan of $150,000. Estimated all-in PITIA runs about $1,279 per month.

The Las Vegas ratio math on this product

Gross nightly revenue in Las Vegas models to about $2,475/month across a full year. Lenders do not credit that dollar-for-dollar — a 28% haircut for vacancy, cleaning, platform fees and management leaves $1,782 of creditable income. Against a PITIA of $1,279, that is an estimated DSCR ratio of 1.39x. That clears the 1.0 minimum with real cushion and lands in the best DSCR pricing tier most shelves publish — typically worth 0.25%–0.50% off the rate versus a break-even file.

Underwriting notes specific to STR files: plan on 25% down as the floor, six months of PITIA in reserves, and either twelve months of Airbnb/VRBO earnings statements on the subject property or a third-party market revenue study for a property with no operating history. Short-term rental activity is moderate here and local rules vary by zoning district. Verify the permit status of the exact address before you go hard on earnest money — an unpermitted STR is an unfinanceable STR on this product.

Returns and structure

Return metrics at the Las Vegas median for this product: an estimated cap rate of 5.88%, and monthly cash flow of $503 positive at 25% down. A file that cash-flows at the minimum down payment is the exception in New Mexico right now, and it gives you room to absorb an insurance renewal without going to the reserve account.
