I also agree and putting my $$ to back it up .... already seeing prices rise at the low-end! New REO inventory can't keep up with demand ... their economy (like a lot of places) still struggling especially with unemployment but warm weather, no state income tax, affordable homes, increasing population, world class amenities, etc make Vegas a good investment, imo.

lol .... man, you are old!

I think renting is the way to go if you aren't certain you will live there 3+ years and/or if your mtg payment would be difficult to make especially if you have, as you say, a 'low paying job' or worried about losing your job. Of course, buying is definitely something to consider with depressed prices, sub 5% fixed interest rates, and our govt giving money to people buying homes!

I like the idea .... especially if it documented the vendors experience by type of transaction, date, outcome and comments from all parties involved in the deal (good, bad and neutral).

I've heard and read varying opinions of the job Bernanke has played during our financial crisis .... TIME magazine picked him for the following reason:

But the main reason Ben Shalom Bernanke is TIME's Person of the Year for 2009 is that he is the most important player guiding the world's most important economy. His creative leadership helped ensure that 2009 was a period of weak recovery rather than catastrophic depression...

buy two Las Vegas rentals that meet the 2% rule .... and I agree with your statement:



While every year provides great real estate buying opportunities for those willing to work hard and do their due diligence, I think 2010 will offer much more than normal! :woohoo:
