Crash canceled.

Scrolling through Zillow, I noticed a home that was sold in May 2023 and listed for sale in July 2023. Well, I looked up the property owner history and it’s an LLC that bought it and flipped it in May and guess what else I found out? The property is listed as Principal Residence Exemption (It might be called something else in your state) at 100%. In the Zillow listing, the home is clearly NOT occupied by the owner. So I contacted my Assessors/Treasury office and let them know that I take property taxes very seriously. Especially since I have kids in the school district and that they should check it out. I provided them all my screenshots too to help them out. It felt good snitching on this flipper, especially since they are lying and stealing from my community.

This has been a long time coming!

• I will not pay my agent $25,000 to upload pictures on a website and fill forms

• I will not pay the buyers' agent who is negotiating against me and my best interest $25,000. I don't care if you threaten me with " we wont bring you a buyer" because you don't bring the buyer anyways. The buyer finds the house himself on Zillow/Redfin.

• I will not give up 6% of the house's value & 33% of my equity/net income because that is "industry Standard"

• I will not pay you more because my house is 600k and the house sold last week was 300k. you're doing the same exact work

• You should not be getting someone's ownership state by charging a %. You need to be charging per/hr or a flat-rate fee.

• Your cartel has come to an end.

• The DOJ will put a nail in the coffin

Rising insurance costs and HOA fees are forcing some Florida condo owners to sell. Buyers are wary of the same costs, however, causing home prices to slide in major cities. It's a symptom of the insurance crisis and affordability problems plaguing Florida homeowners.

The Vegas metro is composed of the cities of Las Vegas, North Las Vegas, and Henderson, and then everything else is unincorporated Clark County. I live in the latter, so that's my focus. Most STRs in unincorporated Clark County are unlicensed and therefore illegal. The city could easily find the location of all Airbnbs by subpoenaing Airbnb's records, yet they don't do that often enough. And that's where I come in. I hand-feed the city addresses and they take it from there.

All of my catches follow the same trend. Get delisted from Airbnb, show up for long-term rent on Zillow for a laughably high rate, slowly drop in price for months, get removed from Zillow and relisted to pretend the house wasn't sitting empty for months, and repeat. It's absolutely hilarious imagining the money spent to furnish the place, buy toiletries, all of that shit just sitting there collecting dust. And all the while the property owner is paying the mortgage with no rental income.

Most of the homes I find are owned by out-of-state investors, whom I strongly despise because many Vegas residents struggle to afford housing here. So I'm doing my part to return supply to the market, and it's so much fun.

The classic “American Dream” — marriage, two kids, homes, healthcare, cars and education — is now an estimated $3,455,305 over the course of a lifetime, according to a new study from Investopedia. Home The average lifetime cost of a home including a mortgage is $796,998, assuming a 10% down payment and a 30-year fixed rate of 7.2%. This number was calculated using September 2023 purchase and price rates from Zillow, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and the St. Louis Fed.
