Happy New Year, folks! Here’s some little tidbits for you:
First we have the story of how a bank became the victim of a huge mortgage fraud scam (which may also have artificially inflated California real estate prices).
Details are surfacing that some sub-prime lenders were actively working to circumvent state-level regulations that would have protected consumers from risky and inappropriate loans.
Next up, a premiere peek at the Palazzo, Las Vegas’s newest casino-resort. There are 3000 rooms, and the facility itself will employ 4000 workers in 420 job categories. This of course says nothing of the jobs that will be generated providing goods and services to the 4000 workers and the occupants of those 3000 rooms.
If you are planning on selling a home in the near future, here’s some recommended reading on remodeling and repairs.
And last but not least, popular Vegas productions for 2008.
