They are not allowed in certain master planned communities.Summerlin, including Sun City Summerlin▪ Town Center▪ Skye Canyon▪ Cliff’s Edge▪ Symphony Park▪ Grand Canyon Village▪ Las Vegas Medical District▪ Providence SquareAnd these restrictions I find would be the most difficult for you to overcome - A short-term rental license does not provide authority to violate any common-interest community’s covenants,conditions and restrictions (CC&Rs).

My goal with REI is to gain financial freedom, spend more time with family here and that are out of town (and therefore cost more to go see), and to be able to buy the things I want ( I love cars and live very close to some luxury auto dealers lol)!

I've been incredibly lucky with tenants, turnover, properties, appreciation, connections etc.That said I do occasionally find myself wondering, what if....If I had bought in Florida or Texas or a booming college town.
