Where are inexpensive and good homes located in Las Vegas?
I don’t really like Las Vegas, but might have to move there. I am retired, widower, 70s. Now I live in a suburb of DC. It is expensive and my mortgage, taxes, insurance will soon drive me out anyway. People who live near me work like slaves (just like I sort of did) and raise kids (like we did). Now, I am nearly broke due to bad financial decisions and over the top over-spending. I guess that I will be able to live modestly from now on since my pension covers my mortgage and my savings pay for basic necessities.
Back to Las Vegas. I am looking for something that costs no more than 0,000 or I will have to get too much of a mortgage. I’ll do it, if necessary, but want to cut all my expenses. Can I find a nice, one story single family home that has a garage, two BR, two baths and maybe a yard with a pool? Also, privacy and really quiet and safe. Am I asking too much? Right now, if I could, I would just lock up this house, get in my SUV and drive around the country for a year thinking this over, but I have done enough of that stuff and still do not know what to do in my so-called retirement. Yes, I am really down tonight, so your help is more appreciated than ever. Thanks.

Yes, you already have two best answers. It really gets hot there in the summer and fall.

Check realtor.com, and get in touch with one of the realtors on the website. You can key in Las Vegas, and select how many bedrooms, how much you want to spend, etc. When you find something you like contact a realtor.
O.K. my friend, I’ll give you some tips and references but, then your on your own.
I retired from Vegas after 47 years as a carpenter. I want to keep my ident. to myself, number one.
Look at "Award" Realty on the West side, one of the top Realty sales and ask for John Warner, one of the top men of the field. That’s all I can tell you, call him first if your nervous about it. He is the best.
Lots of forclosed homes but, your taking a chance also, stay out of the "associations" they can be murder. Stay out of the "Gated communities" and don’t sign anything with a "lock" on the price of the property for any amount of time.
Look on the West side, the Northwest side. At your age, you can still work, he’ll be able to give you some leads on this if you like. Good luck, say "hi" to him for me, he’ll know who!
