How much estimating have you done on the costs to furnish it as an STR?

.- all leather furnishings- T&G the ceilings.

They will get you on every platform- Airbnb, Vrbo, your own booking site, booking.com, google vacation rentals, Marriott’s, Expedia, furnish finders, there are plenty of smaller ones as well.

Preferred equity is often structured to resemble a loan in that it provides fixed payments and a return of capital, rather than a share of profits, which could reduce its exposure to UBIT.

If it's in a good location, and the property is in great condition, you could furnish the house and operate as an MTR.

and even just to buy something that's already built ... just to be blunt... 30K just isn't that much to work with, if you think about needing a down payment, closing costs, and then the costs to furnish, set up, and list. 

More rental income than a long term rental (LTR) but less than a short term rental (STR) property.One thing to keep in mind is you are responsible for furnishing and maintaining the property and you might also be responsible for utilities. 

My thought for Vegas would be to consider a short- or mid-term rental property, perhaps even a condo, so that I had something furnished I could stay in from time-to-time when I'm visiting.

And my wife wants all new furniture of course so maybe I do a furnished rental ???

Fully furnished units.
