I am 60 years old and very opinionated about certain things and trying to make a living in Las Vegas is kind of trendy.  

They're supported FIRST by strong retail, shopping, and a dog-friendly brewery, and wouldn't you know, next thing every tattooed early thirties hipster with a dog or a kid wants to live close to 'an untouched, trendy pocket' of town. 

In one case, the location in the hip and super trendy mission district (mission st/16th st.) is right next to a major rapid transit (BART) plus several bus stations no less.

We decked this place out in a super cool and trendy nashville theme which has been a huge attraction for girl vacations and all the higher end bachelorette parties the city sees.

At the very least one wants a clear cut exit strategy, in my opinion that is going to come from NNN single tenant commercial with solid leases and newly trendy neighborhood multi-family. 

Besides, the trendy designs available these days make sure your home looks aesthetically and tastefully done up.

When tax authorities recently surveyed the returns of 150 doctors with offices in the trendy Athens neighborhood of Kolonaki, where Prada and Chanel stores can be found, more than half had claimed an income of less than $40,000.

Very trendy and good food.

You can look at the MLS to see an appreciation,decline,or flat curve for your area and what the trend is doing and at what pace.The biggest mistake a builder or developer can make is to paint a rosy picture of a return and when they sell to market they break even or lose money.For example are short sales,and foreclosures increasing in your area or older homes needing rehab??
