I just wanted to update you since I posted in March/2010. We have since purchased 10 condos and they are all rented with good tenants. We bought a huge house for us (4,000 sq ft) almost new with $ 170,000 in upgrades. We purchased it for $ 270,000. We have spent the hottest part of the summer in LV (July/August) AND LOVED IT!! We came back to Southern California and put
our house up for sale. We live 8 miles from the beach and high on top of a hill. We loved Vegas. The people there were really nice and there is almost
no crime in the neighborhood that we are moving to. Where else can you
buy inexpensive housing, no state tax, nice weather, nice people, cheap
groceries, restaraunts and utilities. This will enable my husband to retire
at 53 and we can get out of this rat race here in Southern California.

I am semi retired and live up in the Anthem area although not in a retirement community. This is the place to retire to. Tons of things to do even if you do not gamble (I don’t but my wife does a little). The quality of medical care is good. Dining is incredible and many of the casinos offer 2 for 1 buffet coupons. The weather is far better than Florida or the Midwest. No snow. It does get hot during the summer months but everything is air conditioned. If you want to just sit back and relax the play the stock market this is a great place. No income tax and no inheritance tax. Think about that if you live in a place like New Jersey.

I don’t agree with you regarding Las Vegas. We had the occasion to stay there
for 2 weeks. We purchased 3 condos. They originally were $280,000 each and we purchased them for around $ 56,00 each. 3 bedroom newer, 1600 sq ft. There are lots of newer areas with lots of infastructure. Restaraunts, hospitals, strip malls, major retailers, major discount retailers, banks
movie theatres and yes lots of grocery stores. I would not go near the strip for anything. Las Vegas was beautiful. I don’t know how it will be in the summertime but I bet retirees will like the warm weather.

Where else can a senior buy a 1600 sq ft newer condo for monthly payments of
$ 350 per month (includes HOA, Taxes and Insurance). What’s great about it is
you can get in the car and in 4 hours be in California (where my family is)
