 I speak to a lot of investors who want to enter the condo investment arena. They see the prices and rent equation and think "this is a no brainer." On the surface it makes perfect sense. Buy a condo in Las Vegas with 2 bedrooms, pay $50,000. Put down 20% ($10,000) and have a note for $40,000. T...

I've had some interesting conversations in the past couple of weeks about starting over. I've been a resident of Las Vegas since 1992 and have been in the real estate business since 2000.
