Op may be thinking of the 'flipper' type of home buyer, where these would be investment only transactions, kept marginally in the black between sales by prior profits Airbnb etc.

Nope. Not thinking of flippers.

As I mentioned, I personally know three people who typify what is happening. One is a commercial airline pilot. Another is military. The third is an electrician.

The electrician might be the one who would be most typically a "flipper" except that he has no time for that kind of nonsense because he's also a foster parent for Clark County.

Also, Airbnb is illegal in southern Nevada,† with the exception of the Las Vegas city limits, which is a very small area, and not part of the "resort corridor" that everyone knows about.
