Also, it appears, (still waiting on the final investigation to close to get the point of entry, but it also appears and confirmed by the PM that they or he/she etc got in through a kitchen window, which was not secure and when I looked, it was then secured by a piece of wood to keep it shut.  

The issue you were going to run into is the prior owner appears to have a serious delinquency.

I'm currently considering whether to 1031 a couple of rental SFH's I have in the DFW area over to Vegas.Having lived in an owner-occupied house here for 3 years now and looking at my Clark County bill:- The assessed value is only 25% of the current "quick and dirty" market value (Redfin, Z)- There's a line item where property tax rate appears to be 3% of the assessed value- ... however, another line item subtracts a lot from this because of the lag from owner-occupied increase cap percentage of 3% annually (if I'm understanding correctlyAlso, despite changing hands 3 years ago, it's interesting that the assessed value didn't get re-assessed to the purchase price back then.

@Jill Hutsonthree reasons why apartments don't rent: Condition, Price, and Marketing, and a fourth can be the leasing agent, although I would tend to lump that into marketing.If the house is in good shape, and you're on all the platforms marketing it, then it's a function of price.There has been an oversupply of new inventory coming on line in many markets, and that's why rents have dropped in a lot of the metros.Unfortunately, it appears you have a pricing issue and you may have to start reducing the price, or throwing in some type of  concessionGood luckGino

Also - I'm dealing with an applicant right now who appears to live with a family member (same last name, listed as the landlord on her application) who was just served an eviction notice on September 14.

Affordability or lack there of has the best chance of slowing this market but there appear to be plenty of buyers in all price ranges.
