Own a Las Vegas Rental and Live in California or Out of State?

I'm April Huynh, a licensed REALTOR® and property manager with Life Realty District. I manage rental homes across Las Vegas, Henderson and North Las Vegas for owners who live somewhere else. Many of my owners live in Southern California, including Orange County, and others live in Utah, across the country or overseas. Some bought a Las Vegas home as an investment. Others moved away and kept their home as a rental.

Distance is the hard part of being an out-of-state landlord. A water heater fails on a Tuesday, a tenant needs to move in on a Saturday, or the A/C goes out in July. Someone local needs to handle it. That's my job.

How I manage your Las Vegas rental while you live out of state

• Showings and leasing. I market the home, show it in person and apply the same written screening criteria to every applicant.
• Repairs and maintenance. I coordinate licensed local vendors and check in with you before larger repairs, so you don't have to find a plumber from hundreds of miles away.
• Inspections with photos. Move-in, move-out and periodic inspections come with photos, so you can see the home without flying in.
• Email and text updates. Reach me by phone, email or text. You'll also have an online owner portal with monthly statements and documents, available any time.
• Rent collection and records. Rent is collected online, and your statements are ready when tax time comes around.

Nevada's 60-mile rule for out-of-state landlords

Nevada law (NRS 118A.260) requires the lease or a signed notice to give tenants a phone number for a responsible person who lives in the same county as the rental or within 60 miles of it, to contact in an emergency. If you live in California, Utah or anywhere else more than 60 miles away, you need a local contact. When I manage your home, I'm that local contact.

Own a Las Vegas rental and live in California?

Las Vegas and Southern California share the same time zone, so when you call or text me during your workday, it's my workday too. You don't need to make the drive up I-15 for a showing, a repair or a lease signing. Leases and documents can be signed electronically, and updates come to you by email or text. If you live in Orange County, Los Angeles, San Diego or the Inland Empire, you can own here and stay there.

Own a Las Vegas rental and live in Utah?

Utah is one hour ahead of Las Vegas, so I keep that in mind when I schedule calls and send updates. Whether you're in St. George, Salt Lake City or anywhere in between, you won't need to drive down for routine matters. I handle the showings, repairs and inspections here and keep you updated by email or text.

If your home is in an HOA

Many homes in the Las Vegas Valley are part of an HOA. I do my best to get HOA rules and regulations to every tenant once the owner or HOA provides them, and I follow up promptly when an HOA reports a violation. Read more on my HOA rentals page.

Thinking about buying another Las Vegas rental?

Because I'm also a licensed real estate agent, I can help you buy your next rental and then manage it. See investment property management in Las Vegas if you own, or plan to own, more than one home.
