First, a big Welcome Home! to almost 300 airmen of Nellis Air Force Base, returning from overseas missions.
Another welcome sign, Mojave Max has emerged from his hibernation at the Desert Tortoise Conservation Center. That makes it “officially spring” for some Las Vegans.
If you live in Vegas, your mortgage is with Chase, and you are having trouble making payments, please be aware of their Nevada Homeownership Center near N Rainbow and 215. They would rather help you out than own yet more houses.
Maybe things are slower than usual here in Vegas, but City Center is still under construction, with parts set to open later this year.
It seems that in many parts of the country, apartment vacancy rates are way up! While it is true that when people lose their jobs, they often lose their means for paying for housing, I wonder where all those residents have gone. Mom and Dad’s place? Bunking with friends? I wonder what will happen when summer “leasing season” arrives.
Last item: Realtors, their clients, and title officers need to be on the lookout for mortgage fraud. Read your closing statements. Do your best to understand them. Here’s a place to start. Ask for explanations where you do not understand. If it’s not on the closing statement, it isn’t supposed to happen.
I’ll see you again for Friday Figures!
