Hi Rich,

I'd love to meet with you when you are here. Sept 9th is also the meeting of the Real Estate Insiders Club. That would be a great place for you to make connections if you can fit it into your schedule.

:cool:

Now Las Vegas is down over 54% from August, 2006. At the same time it is supposed to grow over twice as fast as the US. Seems like a screaming buy to me.

Anyone not like it? Your reasons?

And if you are buying there, what are you buying? How much are you paying?

Richard- I'd love to be your guest at that meeting! What time is it? I fly in on the 9th at 11 in morning. I think I have to register and then time available. I'm staying out on Lake Las Vegas Golf Course and expo is at Caesars. Please reply by post or PM. Any other Vegas guys?

Jon- I want to check things out while there. I need some people with stuff to sell!!! Rich.

Ted- I'll buy you a meal if you get there. It should be raining in Portland by then anyway! I lived near Eugene in 80 after retiring, and rain drove my family nuts.

I grew up in Eugene til we moved to Portland in 80' ... and you're right, it'll probably being raining (as it always does) in Portland which drives me nuts as well so another good excuse to get away. I'm working on the details and getting the ok from the boss (aka my wife) for the trip - will let you know! Ted

Here is what Money Magazine think about LV. Bottom out in the 3rd quarter of 2010. I think it too optimistic.

Still, could be a good time to buy for the long haul.
