It will never be illegal to rent out a property you own (yes, some properties have association rules but this condo does not appear to)
Even if he is forced to pay the current TOT rate of 12% in Vegas he still is profitable. He'll have the entire condo paid off in less than 4 yrs.
If he decides to rent it out full-time it would still bring in around half the income it generates as a vacation rental.
At any rate, he got a TON of juicy backlinks to his two sites Needwant.com and Lockitron.com from posting his rental income, lol.
I did not say it is illegal to rent out a property.
Loads of people were making profits they did not declare, though.
Doing this in a way that is easily traceable (as AirBnB is a nice database of that) is beyond stupid.
