Quote from @Dylan Webb: Have you talked to a lender to see what it would cost you?

I’d appreciate your perspectives.Here are the details about our current home:3/2 Class A property in a middle-America town with historically ~1% annual appreciation.Purchased in 2020 for $200,000 at a 3% 30-year fixed rate.Remaining mortgage: $150,000.Estimated value: $270,000 (based on recent sales).After selling costs: Likely $100,000 in net proceeds.Rental potential: $2,000–$2,300/month.PITI: $1,200/month ($700 mortgage + ~$500 insurance/taxes).Maintenance/CapEx/Vacancy (20%): ~$400/month.If kept as a rental:Net cash flow (self-managed): ~$500/month or ~$300/month with property management.Low appreciation potential but ~$400/month in principal paydown.Considerations:What’s the additional overhead of managing a second rental property remotely (3 hours away)?

In my opinion, the US and the UAE have agreements to avoid double taxation, so there should not be any additional costs in Dubai.

Make thisyour business model.

The cleaning costs alone were over $9k.

Planning to sell my property in vegas, just wanted a second opinion on if these are typical, fair costs in today's market.

Because if you need to live off the cash flow what you're really looking for is a business. 

A quick web search shows it can cost upwards of $25,000.I'd say that if the flea-bag isn't a service dog now, it probably never will be.

I decided to buy the property from my grandfather using a gift of equity, which allowed me to take over ownership without having to come up with the full down payment and pay for the tax lien and his closing costs.

If you do a good job and make the private lender happy they will want to do this again.Then there's seller financing which you see a lot with businesses, and commercial property.
