Nevada-specific considerations
- Desert-climate projects. HVAC, roofing, solar, pools, and water-efficient landscaping are common HELOC uses.
- HOA communities. Many Nevada homes are in HOAs; keep dues current, since they're part of your housing costs.
- Second homes and rentals. Tahoe-area vacation homes may qualify as second homes; properties rented most of the year are treated as investment properties.
