First Things First

Any move requires some research, so that's what I've been doing today.

I've been Googling a lot of stuff, including: real estate schools, Century 21 brokers, job searches, and Nevada real estate licensing requirements. I'll begin adding links here, to help me keep things straight.

I've been thinking about making a change for some time. I'm going to continue to make a living doing those things I'm passionate about: writing, teaching, real estate investing, and playing cards. I'm ready to begin my retirement years doing what I want to do, having fun, taking each day as it comes.

Why am I moving? When it came down to it, I realized I could go anywhere and do anything. I have nothing to keep me here in north Texas. I can just pick up and go. So, I decided Las Vegas would be a nice change. I may not be there long. I could be there until the rest of my life. But I'll always be a Texan no matter where I live, so it really doen't matter.

I chose Las Vegas for a number of reasons, not to mention:
1. the opportunity to grow in real estate investing
2. the weather
3. the job market
4. the card rooms
5. the opportunity to experience life in the world's biggest playground, with all of its evil and grace...a great place for a writer.

This blog will be my journey to Vegas.
