well, moved to sin city a year ago. bought a house in a custom neighborhood and gutted to the drywall replacing EVERYTHING down to the last lightswitch. house had mountain views out the back and strip views from the front/living room- was an amazing property. bought a boat again last fall and went downhill from there. HOA sent 3 warning notices for having truck tire hanging off the driveway and 2 months into an application process couldn't get a 6x8 shed approved for yard tools so we knew they would never approve a standalone garage on the side yard(35ft wide x 80ft deep).
so we sold. made a few $$ and are now on the hunt again.

been looking for 2 months.
only have a few requirements:
boat parking outside or garage big enough
back yard east or north facing so we can use it during the day and not the size of a dog run(typical here in vegas)
and lastly NO POOL. don't care about the rest of the house as we can live in anything and fix things we don't like.

first offer made. 86 year old lady. husband and disabled son both passed. she sat on offer for 2 days and when pressed to counter broke down in tears and yanked the house off the market.
second house went to make offer. realtor took offer 2 days prior and never changed mls to show pending.
third house accepted offer. older dude- wife passed and downsizing. we went to take earnest money to title company. instructions were to wire(never heard of that) and we took check. seller cancelled transaction since we didn't follow directions(mind you title company gave us the ok for check vs wire- they stated wire was odd). turns out they took a higher offer a day after we negotiated and all parties agreed to terms- they used the lack of wire to cancel the transaction. we think they wrote that in knowing there was another offer coming.

lots of big production builders here but none(we checked with them all) will modify a 3 car for us and anything under 500k are on 6000sqft lots not wide enough for rv parking on the side.

and here we sit hoping someone will take our money eventually..... this process is going to cause me to drink..... even more than I do.
