Lou,
You may remember that I have family there, so I am out there 3 or 4 times a year. Yes, I am always welcome to stay with the family, but we all know how that goes.
Anyway, condos are fairly reasonable in and around metro Las Vegas. Taxes for residents are not bad either (it’s the tourists they kill). Living in Florida, you understand the comparison I am trying to make.
The point is, you may want to look into buying some property there for your use a couple of times a year and rent it out the rest of the time. Believe me, you will get your morgage paid and have a free place to stay when you in the mood. I am going to be looking at some property while I am out there also for that very reason. I’m not looking at condos though, more interest in finding vacant land and building a home. I hate condo associations and paying monthly maintenence fees. It’s cheaper to hire a landscaper and my family can look after the property.
Food for thought big guy!
