About Hollywood's West Hollywood

From Hollywood to Vegaswood by: Robert Swetz (Vegas Bob)

Since elementary school I have studied Art, Photography, Music, Writing and have glued myself to the Silver Screen & Television.

My first visit to Hollywood was when I was a teenager and I drove down from Portland Oregon back in 1974.

I have been purchasing Real Estate Investments for over 20 years, most of them Lake properties and acreage. I find great deals, purchase them and sit on them until they become ripe for the picking!

Well some of these properties have become ripe for the picking because of the baby boomers that are starting retire.

I specialize in Real Estate Investments in Las Vegas Nevada, Custom Homes, High-rise Luxury Condos and more. Please take a look at my web site at........

www.VegasBuildingsForSale.com

I will be focusing on customers from Los Angeles because LA is getting so crowded and Las Vegas has less then 2 million, cleaner air, less traffic, etc.

Many movies have been filmed in Vegaswood and there will be so many more in the future.

Drive time from Hollywood to Vegaswood is around 4 1/2 to 5 hours give or take, which creates a great connection between the two places of Entertainment.

I have a itch to start working with my creative talents again, so with the sales of some Investment Properties I will be spending a few months in Hollywood studying Acting, Directing, Etc. This will happen some time this Winter.

I will be producing some music for my wife Nu Nu because singing is her talent of choice. Nu Nu sang in her Country of Myanmar (Burma) for over ten years and she in very well known. I will be helping her with several music videos also.

When we go to visit South East Asia, I will be producing and directing a movie in Myanmar (Burma). Nu Nu knows most of the movie stars in Myanmar and it will be a good place for me to start.

So for anyone reading this post in LA & Hollywood I will be looking for a place to rent and hang my hat some time this Winter.

According to this article from today's Wall Street Journal , only 12,000 applications for California's tax credit for new homes will be accepted for qualified buyers . As of June 10, 9,000 appilications have already been submitted. Apparently builders are trying to extend the credit, but the state's financial woes make that unlikely.

This article from the Dr Housing Bubble Blog needs no expanation; I thought it to be quite appropriate reading on the eve of the 90 day California foreclosure moratorium that starts tomorrow. Great- while homeowners in California enjoy a temporary reprieve from losing their homes for the time being, what happens in September? Will this measure help stem the massive tide of foreclosures? or will it just make the coming wave of Alt A and Prime defaults that much stronger? It would be prudent to keep these facts in mind amidst all of the "happy talk" of a market bottom. While it may be true that in some of the less expensive areas of L.A. may offer some buying opportunities, it remains to be seen that the more expensive areas on the Westside are immune to "declining market"conditions seen just about everywhere else.

Interesting piece from the Business Standard on how real estate stocks appreciated much more then real estate itself during the height of the market from Jan 2007 to Jan 2008 . In light of the past/current debacle we find ourselves in, it probably couldn’t hurt to pay more attention to this particular group of stocks to gain some kind of perspective and not get caught up in the frenzy often associated with market tops. I’m surprised that real estate futures traded at the Chicago Mercantile Exchange are not more popular these days as these instruments can hedge portfolio risk, lock in home equity and otherwise offer a speculator way to take advantage of price trends in today’s real estate market.
