Executive Summary

With $255,844 in equity, a favorable Las Vegas rental market, and a 10-year wealth-building horizon, converting the current home into a long-term rental builds substantially more wealth than selling. Projected rental income of $2,800/mo covers PITI plus property management with a positive ~$340/mo cash flow, and equity continues to grow through both appreciation and principal paydown.
