As of October 2026, we analyzed 7,612 active for-sale homes in Las Vegas, Nevada. The typical listing is priced at $475,000 and is projected to generate about $45,347 a year as a short-term rental.
After setting aside an estimated 20% for operating costs, an estimated 55.2% of those homes could still cover an investor mortgage payment on short-term-rental income — roughly in line with the 53.1% median across the 200 major metros we track, ranking Las Vegas #90 of 200 for cash-flow potential.
On market momentum: homes in Las Vegas sit a median of 55 days on the market, and 30% of active listings came on in just the last 30 days — a steadily paced market, which shapes how much room there is to negotiate.
For a DSCR loan — which qualifies on the property's rental income rather than your personal income — that's a relatively healthy setup: in Las Vegas, a meaningful share of listings throw off enough short-term-rental income, after costs, to cover an estimated investor mortgage payment.

Darker means a larger share of that group cash-flows. “—” means fewer than 8 active listings — too few to draw a conclusion from.
