The latest airline tragedy: Skymall has crashed

This past Thursday Skymall, the creative company that kept us all intrigued for at least an hour on every flight we have taken since the 90’s, filed for bankruptcy. With the airlines allowing passengers to keep their smart phones and tablets powered up and connected to wi-fi during flight, the catalog of overpriced absurdities just could not latch on to our wallets anymore. Let’s face it, none of us actually needed a glass top sumo wrestler table or a polar bear wine bottle holder or a life sized Easter Island head. However if we did get the overwhelming urge to buy those things, using the internet, while holding the magazine, I imagine we were able to find more affordable ways to acquire such treasures, which has left Skymall grounded.

Muti family investing in Las Vegas?

I love 2-4 unit properties as an investment. If you buy a 4-plex, and you have one vacancy, you still have 3 tenants paying you. And did you know that loans for 1-4 unit residential properties have exactly the same requirements? Do any of these investment properties catch your eye?

Trivia: Which Summerlin Village does not end with an “s”?

Many years ago I remember a trivia question to name the professional sports team from the big 4 (Basketball, Baseball, Football & Hockey) whose team name did not end in an “S”. And at that time it was much harder than it is now. For example, in Detroit, you had the Red Wings, the Lions, the Tigers & the Pistons; and when first heard the question, there was (I believe) only one answer – the Chicago White Sox! Of course later we added teams like the Utah Jazz and the Tampa Bay Lightning . . . so it’s a little easier now.

So have you figured it out?

To help you, here is a list of the Summerlin Villages with the “s” at the end;

The Arbors
The Canyons
The Crossings
The Gardens
The Hills
The Paseos
The Pueblo
The Ridges
The Trails
The Vistas
The Willows

What is missing? (I dare you not to use the internet to get the answer)

We have come a long way baby!

There are plenty of home choices in the Northwest part of the Las Vegas Valley (89149)

As a buyer, it’s nice to have choices, and the area near Providence and Centennial Hills has more “supply” than most of the rest of the valley. That means less competition for buyers and (typically) better values. Check out some of the house there by clicking this link;
