Can you still rent by room (house hack) if you move out in 2 years?

[Mandeep S.]

Hi,

I was looking to house hack in Las Vegas, and I was wondering if you can still rent the property by the room if you move out a year later and get a second house?

1. House hack house 1 (live in landlord) in year 1.

2. Buy house in year 2 and move to house 2. Rent out all rooms by the room (in house 1) in year 2 (landlord no longer lives in house 1).

I was going to say….Not in “Las Vegas” but many/most people refer to Henderson and north Las Vegas as Las Vegas, and there you can. Simply look east of Decatur. 

BUT. I THINK you are confusing the Las Vegas rules regarding short term rentals with house hacking. If you mean LTR househacking I don't think you have a problem. Only STR househacking would require you to look at Hendeson or North Las Vegas.
