Welcome back to another episode of Real Estate Jerky! In today's episode, we have a thought-provoking discussion with our guest, Courtney Beauford, on the pressing issues of housing and what the real estate landscape is in Las Vegas.  Joining you as always are your hosts, Mike Kelly and Ed Parcaut. We dive into the current housing market, where waiting lists for housing are common, and explore the challenges faced by low-income individuals who are struggling to pay rent and even go without meals. 
As a mortgage advisor, Ed Parcaut shares his insights on the housing market, discussing the impact of land prices in Southern California and the potential solution of building pre-ordered townhouses. We also touch on exciting sports developments in the Las Vegas area, including the possibility of a basketball expansion team and upcoming events like the F1 race and Super Bowl.  But it's not all positive news as we address the extreme heat and its impact on the homeless population. Ed shares heart-wrenching stories and emphasizes the need for support and solutions to improve their living conditions. Furthermore, we explore long-term solutions, such as education and better job opportunities, and discuss the financial aspects of renting and owning properties. So, sit back, relax, and join us as we tackle these important issues and envision a brighter future for our community. Don't forget to tune in every Sunday or catch us on our podcast for more insightful episodes.
