Nevada MHC Reno spillover and Las Vegas fringe worker pads
Nevada recorded 5,885 flips with 21.4% average gross ROI and $84,000 average gross profit per BatchData (Jul 2026) — Clark County dominates with 4,760 flips; Washoe 524; Lyon 144.

Nevada MHC sponsor checklist before LOI
Request 24-month T-12, rent roll with POH count, lagoon/well capacity report, and 3–5 Nevada pad comps within 25 miles. Las Vegas core comps do not support Lyon or Nye refi files without adjustment. Size bridge 12–18 months on value-add files with 15%+ POH at acquisition.
California in-migration and tax-advantaged holds
Nevada’s no state income tax improves after-tax yield on stabilized MHC holds versus California peers — sponsors comparing Reno/Lyon exurban basis against Sacramento fringe should model 150–250 bps after-tax advantage on identical NOI. California in-migration supports Fernley and Spanish Springs fill-up in 9–12 months when lot rents remain 30%–40% below Reno apartment comps. Pair with Nevada rural fix and flip guide and Arizona MHP when evaluating Sun Belt spillover portfolios. Wildfire insurance on WUI-adjacent communities can add $800–$1,400/pad/year — obtain quotes before IO sizing. Pahrump corridor pads capture Las Vegas commuter spillover at $480K–$880K with separate comp discipline from Clark County core pricing.
