I am a real estate investor and i am licensed in both Nevada and Utah and live in both Las Vegas and Salt Lake CityIm looking to share ideas, thoughts, and opportunites in Real Estate.B.

(I live in Englewood, Colorado.)I am just retiring from my own company (not real estate related), and want nothing more from the forum than access to its knowledge base (and hopefully the camaraderie of the group).I am presently a passive partner in certain entities that own commercial real estate in Las Vegas and Southern California.

Las Vegas and Orlando the same as Detroit?

I hear a lot of talk and hype about Las Vegas at the moment.

I am from and live in Las Cruces, New Mexico.

Greetings Everyone,I'm looking for some input on networking opportunities with other real estate investors in Las Vegas?

Presently, I have about $35,000 left and looking to start over in a new state.My credit is no more stellar, but used to own many properties and familiar with creative financing techniques.I was thinking about Atlanta, Chicago, Florida, Las vegas.

I have a friend in Las Vegas who is currently approved for a short sale that was negotiated by his realtor(end of July).

Lenders have more to worry about in Las Vegas than "due-on-sale clause violations".As long as this loan remains "current & performing";...you have a better chance of "hitting the jackpot" at Caesars Palace, than having the lender accelerate an otherwise performing loan in good standing for a violation in the "due-on-sale clause".Spending a few hundred dollars with a good attorney that specializes in these types of land contracts should be worth the money. (...try finding these types of lawyers who are affiliated with your local Las Vegas Real Estate Investment Club).A lawyer of this type can create a new, or review and update your trust/sales-agreement, land contract, etc.Here's a different twist:How about a back-up agreement and a back-up deed?

OMG, skip the stock market at all costs, unless he likes to gamble and rely on others to determine his future.Take serious courses in commercial real estate, then pick an asset class with the best current track record in a great market (NOT Las Vegas, MI, etc.) and plop down the 20% down payment on a mobile home property.
