Harry Reid, land shark?

L.A. Times Published January 30, 2007

If Harry Reid hadn’t succeeded in politics, he could have done well in real estate. Actually, the Senate Democratic leader, who hails from Nevada, has managed both.

In 2001, he made $1.1 million on a Las Vegas transaction that got him some unwanted attention from the Senate ethics committee because he failed to report some crucial information on his financial disclosure forms. Now, we learn that he bought out a business partner in another land deal at a price that looks too good to be true and that he has sponsored legislation that would benefit that former partner.

Deed of Sale of property in Nevada has been in escrow since December, 05. Closing was extended because there was a pending lien (bankruptcy CH 13) on the property. CH 13 was dismissed eventually and both seller and buyer can go back now to closing. Since property in Las Vegas has dropped drastically, there is a need to change the figures of purchase price of property. But the total am’t the seller will get is still the same. $200,000 is the am’t they actually sold to us. Original purchase is $268,000. $68,000.00 goes to gift of equity w/c the bank will hold. Buyer wrote an ammendment to change the purchase to $249,000.00 w/c is the current buying price of the property in the area where it is located. Still the am’t the buyer will get is still $200,000.00. so nothing has changed except the money the bank will hold as equity has lowered. Seller had a pending divorce and husband just refused to sign the ammendment because he just want to get even with the wife. who will get 100% of sale

I’m moving with my family (husband, 2 kiddos, cat) to Las Vegas. It’s only for a year and we’d like to get into a small (2 bed) rental home or duplex or even an apartment. Preferably in Henderson. Can I use a real estate agent to help me find a rental? What does it cost? We’re going to Vegas in 2 weeks for a long weekend and need places to see. Thanks!

My idea involves purchasing some real estate in Nevada, near Las Vegas. I can’t elaborate too much on my idea, because it is something I don’t want too many others to know about at this time. I am considering a partner who has a lot of startup capital, or a partner who will assume the responsibility of getting a government business loan. I have thought of seeking a venture capitalist, or someone already well established in real estate who want to expand. Where can I go to find someone willing to start this business with me, other than traditional advertising (newspaper ads, radio, ect)?

missplanetc asked:


We lived together for 5 years in Las Vegas, then got married on 12-31-06, and we’re now divorcing. Will we split things we bought with our joint account before marriage? We bought nothing together during our marriage since it was so short. Does he only take what he brought into our residence since I bought almost everything myself (he got rid of all his stuff before we moved together)? (Not real estate, just furniture, car, etc). Or since we’ve been married for a few weeks, can he take half of everything?

I live in PA about 20 mins from Philly and law enforcement jobs are very hard to find around here, especially since it’s based on NOT what you know but who you know in politics. I refuse to move to Philly to work in that craphole of a neighborhood for $12.00 an hour. Has anyone ever started or transferred to Las Vegas pd? I hear they accept a lot of guys striaght from the academy. If so, do you like it there and did you think it was a good decision moving there? Was it difficult leaving your family behind?

Does anyone know which builders allow you to still conduct general real estate, while also working as a sales rep for the builder?
They are out there, I’m just not sure which ones. A sales rep at a DR Horton development told me he could…
