I've had some interesting conversations in the past couple of weeks about starting over. I've been a resident of Las Vegas since 1992 and have been in the real estate business since 2000. To say the least, it's been very difficult this past year. The temptation is to start over, but where... doing what...?
These are obvious questions that still go unanswered as the thought has just entered my mind. Is this something you ever think about? Don't get me wrong, I don't mean a start over in all senses of the term (I have a family that I love to death, and I wouldn't change that, I'd just take them with me on this new adventure...). What will it be?
Rumors have been started that there will be a mass outmigration of financial services professionals because the job market in NY and the Northeast has imploded. Where will those people go? Talk about pressing the restart button. I guarantee you, they made no less than $100k a year and now what can they do? How can you afford the taxes on the apt. in NY with no salary, or limited income. I can assure you, stockbrokers don't save money in the bank. They invest, and they take lots of risk. My guess is they're moving to Las Vegas to start over. Why not, what better place? Florida? Probably not. Maybe Phoenix or San Diego. But now's the chance to get out of that 6 degree stuff and move to the desert and start over. Get yours, I'm going to get mine.
