PM'ing you.
Thank you. I like Lake Las Vegas but my husband is anti-LV. He says he cannot even go for work. I have no idea why. He says he will live anywhere other than LV.
He should consider Henderson, NV! We love it here!Thank you. I like Lake Las Vegas but my husband is anti-LV. He says he cannot even go for work. I have no idea why. He says he will live anywhere other than LV.

Yes, it is a beautiful area. Our son works at the Westin Lake Las Vegas, which is a gorgeous property.Where vacationforever lives is stunning. It is Henderson, not Las Vegas. 1/2 hour outside it I believe. The community is called Lake Las Vegas.

So happy for you. Do you remember I sent you pictures of a unit that was sold a year ago a floor below ours and you said you liked it. I said if it becomes available I would let you know in the event that you want to move here? That home is just listed. The owners bought another single family home because they have 3 dogs and we only allow max of 2 dogs totalling not more than 70 lbs. That is a gorgeous home. If there is anyone out there thinking of simplifying retirement to a single level condo and in a building without a step up/down into a home, holler! We have sun 364 days a year and we live in a resort community. We do have high HOA but it is worth every dime.
I have a friend who sold his house in California for over $1 million; moved to North Las Vegas; bought a new bigger and better house for less than $450,000; and uses the difference to supplement his retirement. In addition he is out from under California's State Income tax. Not a bad deal...Wanted to add/point out that NV has no state income tax either. A relative retired to the NV side of Lake Tahoe for this reason.
Rapmarks -- you were smart to get out of Illinois 15 years ago. This state is a living hell of taxation. I'm trapped here until my daughter finishes school (just a couple of more years!). I'm currently thinking of a move to Nevada.When we sold our home in Illinois, we had to add about $35000 to it to buy our home in sw Florida, but our real estate taxes are still less than half of what we paid in Illinois 15 years ago, we pay no state income tax, and our health insurance was less through the same plan. It was a good move also because we moved to a community with amenities and activities.

That Sun City is also really nice as well! They have a lot of beautiful places out West!

That’s the big reason why I want to buy in a no tax state. My real estate tax’s are high in MI and our car, & home insurance are outrageous. I just want to be in a warm climate with no snow.
It’s June in MI and it’s one of the few days this month that it’s not raining and it’s only 72.
Well- today has been unbelievably busy and I am happy to report that the builder did make the change about the refund of upgrades in the event he does not meet his obligation to the agreement, as well as a minor wording change our attorney recommended.
As expected, he left in the arbitration paragraphs. Our attorney did miss something in terms of wording but she does not seem concerned about it. At that point I told her we are signing and she was ok with it. She knows how badly we want this deal.
The realtor is going to point out about this home warranty paragraph that makes no sense as per our attorney that the builder claims he couldn't find- but we don't sign that document until closing anyway.
So we signed the agreement once again electronically and as soon and the builder signs it our attorney will start the title search early- since this property changed hands recently. So if any issues come up there will be plenty of time for the builders to resolve it before closing. Smart.
I essentially was working like a paralegal today. Constant emails and reviewing documents again. Pointing out the changes via email to the attorney! So different than in NY where the 2 attorney's handle everything. Here- I was the initiator and the person doing everything- along with the realtor- I must admit- she works very hard. But crazy town! The attorney is like- well- which one of these issues do you want to raise? What? In NY- all of them would be raised! LOL!
So the roller coaster is in high gear again and I am nervous and excited at the same time! Our current home is being shown tonight and also on Sunday evening. (don't these people eat dinner?)
And.....we actually got an offer on our home today- BUT- it is contingent on the sale of their home which isn't even on the market yet. Ummm.....no. Sorry. Too bad- because other than that- the offer would have been good.
So- that is it! Back on track and feeling good again!
PS In my last email to the realtor, I signed my name and what will be our new address underneath! LOL!
Glad it is working out for you! Also I think it's great that your house had an offer and is being shown this often!
In the end- I tell him- we will have to give them away anyway or PAY to have them removed from the house.
I am concerned that for a beautiful weekend like we are having we only had one showing also.
You can even have cancellations when they drive up to the property. On a few occasions a buyer would tell me after driving up to the property, it’s not for me and wouldn’t go in.We get the guy who was buying the log splitter to come earlier. I get the house straightened out and rush out to waste time in town
. Come back and the woman buying our telescope is going to be at the gas station in 15 minutes. Run back out with it. Get home and get a message from our realtor that the potential buyers that were supposed to look at the house cancelled at the last minute. Decided it was too far out.
Nice. You would think these realtors would screen these people. First off- screen out people who need to sell their house in order to buy your house- unless you give the ok. And for gosh sakes, explain where the house is located!
We wasted an entire morning. I am concerned that for a beautiful weekend like we are having we only had one showing also.
