I’d look in your local phonebook for realtors or maybe check out an online real estate agent directory to find one for your area. Good luck.
The members are Vanessa Burke and Ronnie Kramer and they want something catchy. Thanks so much.

I’m thinking about investing a little bit money and buying real estate (condos / townhomes) in Las Vegas. What areas are good neighborhoods and what part of towns should I avoid? Budget is under $100.000
Rule of thumb is the further from the strip the better. Try to stay as close to or outside the 215,
Hi Guys, I need your help. I live in San Francisco, CA, and I want to be a real estate agent in Las Vegas. I have a four years degree in accounting. I want to change my career into real estate because I have been unemployed for 2 years, and I have had hard time to find an accounting job in CA. Anyway, does anybody know what is the best and the cheapest real estate school in Las Vegas and San Francisco? Can I take some real estate courses in CA that are transferable to Nevada? I am thinking that I will take some of the courses here in CA, then move to Nevada. I need your advice. Please give me your best advice because I only have some money left on my savings to achieve my goal. Thank you in advance.
You can take a basic Real Estate Foundation course but every state has its own exams and there are different laws. I went to Anthony Schools in San Francisco for the Calif. state exam. it was a prep course just for passing the test for R.E. sales. But I had already studied Real Estate in Arizona. I had to read up on California laws before i took the exam in Calif. So I really went through twice, but Anthony was just a test prep class for 6 weeks live on site. I would never go online because R.E. was difficult for me without any business or finance background. Anthony Schools is probably in Vegas too.
I think the closest match you will find is a home builder with significant exposure to Las Vegas. Beazer Homes (ticker: BZH) is one that comes to mind. I like your contrarian thinking. However, you might be a bit early on this idea as Las Vegas is remarkably overbuilt.
Since Las Vegas is so dependent on gambling, you might look at some casino stocks as a proxy for the local economy. There is probably a decent correlation with real estate prices.
Currently, I am in Texas, looking to move to either Las Vegas or Southern California. I understand different states have different laws regarding real estate and this would require me to get a new license, but does any of my former education transfer to my new state’s education requirements?

The online gambling market has seen almost exponential growth since its humble beginnings in the mid 1990’s. Online casino games and slots have had an explosive development since they first hit the internet in the late 1990’s. Where do they go from here and will the current financial situation be a test for the many brands out there?
Since the beginnings of slot machines in the Las Vegas in the 1950’s, where they were initially used to entertain the girlfriends and spouses of the rich gamblers while they spent their money on the roulette and blackjack tables, slots have risen to become the main source of income for casinos worldwide, both offline and online. In online casinos, slot games account for more than 80% of income.
When the gambling industry first went online it was not, as many would suspect, the established land based operators that made the move. It was in fact young entrepreneurs who saw the possibility and grabbed it with both hands. Today you can find all kinds of online casino games, from the classic single-line casino slots to impressive 3D poker rooms, and even see live dealers on the roulette table as if you were in a real casino.
With so many markets suffering a sort of domino effect from the busting of the housing bubble, and with the horizon not looking very positive, how will the online gambling industry be impacted? With ever-increasing levels of debt, obviously there will be less players willing to risk their valued savings, and those fortunate enough to still have surplus cash to spend will have less of it.
Online gambling is often frowned upon by mainstream commentators and analysts, but, in practical terms, gambling on the Internet does not differ much from speculating in the stock market, bond market, derivatives market or other financial markets. It can be argued that online gambling is in fact less dangerous than other forms of financial speculation, as it only affects the speculator (gambler) and, possibly, his family, but not the larger economy. Irresponsible gamblers seeking to make a quick profit would be better off playing Internet casino games than trading credit default swaps and other risky derivatives that are tearing down the world economy.
While the banking sector, real estate, automakers and other markets are experiencing grave difficulties, the online gambling market is surviving so far. The financial crisis will decrease the number of online gamblers playing in their spare time for leisure reasons, but at the same time, sadly, it will increase the amount of players desperate to make a buck in these difficult times. Driven by the slim chance of winning a fortune, some regular gamblers will go beyond their usual gambling expenditure and will bet more than they can afford, while some new players will gamble their hard-earned cash away in the hopes of being able to alleviate their financial situation in the face of unsurmountable debt.
It is indeed a sad situation when online casinos and gambling sites will benefit from those who can not really afford it, but it is also a cold, hard reality that should not be ignored.
What the future of the online gambling industry will be like is uncertain (as with most other markets), but the rapid growth that we have seen in this sector over the last 10 years will undoubltely slow down — that much is certain. Many of the smaller companies will probably merge with or be absorbed by bigger companies and new games will not be launched that often. But in the end this is one of the newer businesses that will likely survive the current credit crunch and ensuing financial crisis.

Living in condominiums may not be for everyone, but many people will see that there are a lot of great advantages. Living in todayâs new condos is unlike any living experience that has ever existed. The new condos in Americaâs cities are more than just a nice apartment that people can own; they offer many new amenities and a lifestyle choice that a lot of people prefer.
The real estate market has exploded with Boston condos, Chicago condos, Los Angeles condos, San Francisco condos and condominiums in every major American city. They have provided home ownership possibilities to people that may otherwise not have been able to afford it. The new condos in cities large and small have also provided investment opportunities for many real estate experts. While condominiums may not be perfect for large families or people who need extensive space and privacy, they are a perfect option for many others.
The first advantage of condos is that they are cheaper than single family detached homes in most cases. Since condominiums are found in large complexes and do not include big back yards for each individual unit, the developers can sell them for much less than they would a single family home. This makes many new condos good for investors and first-time home buyers. While there are many luxury developments of Las Vegas condos and New York condos that have become quite popular, there will always be more affordable options as well.
Condominiums are also good options for retirees who are downsizing or parents of older children who have left the house. Once the kids move out to go to college, begin working or start families, many people find the space in their home is no longer necessary. Parents often downsize to a condominium and use the cash left over from the sale of their home to take early retirement. The extra money left over after moving into a condo can also be used to help pay for their tuition or invest.
People who travel a lot may also find many advantages to living in condos. Professionals who travel for work often see problems that arise from having a home sitting empty for weeks or months on end. Burglaries and graffiti are natural results of leaving a home empty. With condominiums, however, itâs much harder for someone to tell if a person is home or not. This makes condos very popular with pilots, flight attendants, sales people and executives that travel a lot.
Another benefit of condos over detached homes is the amount of maintenance required to keep them up. A condominium requires maintenance inside the unit itself, but the homeownersâ association is responsible for the upkeep of the common areas. This includes the hallways, outside of the buildings, landscaping and shared facilities. The amenities such as swimming pools, fitness centers and tennis courts also give condos an edge over other types of dwellings.
Condominiums are not for everyone, but they have some clear advantages over detached homes in many situations. People who continue to rent or are unhappy with their current living situations should consider some of the new condos in their city; they might be surprised at all the benefits they find.
