Not in vegas, but i bought my wood look tile from Lowes. and i used several 20% off coupons for all supplies, dividing them into several $100 purchases.

It will probably take three years to fully renovate including new appliances, cabinets, windows, flooring, paint, bath fixtures, water supply lines and drains.

So you are supplying a furnished house, and utilities, so your expenses will be more than a LTR. 

I will take the list of questions you supplied and begin filtering through my top management choices.

The area's accelerated pace of growth has meant that the housing needs have been met mostly by major "cookie-cutter" developers and unique well-located non-HOA properties are in short supply and high demand.

There is also the issues of liability and ownership.By changing out the sink, he would have to redo a bunch of stuff such as drain connection, water supply connections, garbage disposer, dishwasher hook up etc etc etc...so let's say after the sink was put in two months later a leak develops under the sink. 

Be sure to look closely at the supply and demand in the market. 

You were paying credit card fees, towels and coffee and other supplies, higher insurance rates, self-employment tax, furnishing, high maintenance, decreasing Market saturation, booking site commissions, a lot of other stuff. third, 30 to 35 thousand on a $275,000 house is peanuts 'str wise.

I am focusing on population growth, job growth / employment rate, Supply growth, vacancy rates, rent growth, and cap rates.

All supply continuous stream of renters.
