I was living with horrible forearm/wrist/finger pain for over a decade.  I was diagnosed with everything to CTS (Carpal Tunnel Syndrome) to Tendonitis and I was also fearing arthritis.  I chose to NOT have the painful surgery that was recommended by every other health professional I saw in regards to this matter.  I started seeing Dr Jon in February of 2009 (this year) and by March the pain had subsided and my circulation to my hands (and fingers) had improved.  Dr Jon fixed my problem MINUS surgery and drugs and I am pleased to call him "My Doctor"

EAT WISE - MOVE WISE - THINK WISE, Always Remember Dr. Jon Wise

In today's economically challenging times, we are all pinching pennies!  I will be starting a series of posts that will profile Las Vegas Small Businesses and their owners. 

When many people think "boutique" or "small business" they automatically think "EXPENSIVE".   You have to just be "resourceful".  Many people have come to the conclusion that there is NO SUCH thing as "MADE IN THE USA" anymore.  They feel they need to buy foreign made goods in large corporate owned businesses because there is no alternative.

:Game show buzzer: The above paragraph is FALSE!  Every local community has ARTISTS and EXPERTS at their crafts (product or service!)  You can find these people selling their US made goods on Ebay, their own website or craft shows.

Shopping, eating or getting health services from a large corporate chain is just plain CONVENIENT to save time but not necessarily money.

5)  Customer Service:  Small businesses give phenomenal customer service and it is awesome to go somewhere where "everyone knows your name"!

4)  Tax Base:  Help keep your taxes low by keeping your money local!

3)  Variety:  When there is a demand for local goods and services, the more new shops and stores you will find open and you will enjoy a variety!

2)  Employment:  Small businesses are the backbone of our entire country's economy.  Help create more jobs in your area!

1)  Keep Your Money LOCAL!  When your money is spent on goods and services locally, the money gets spent, in return, to other local businesses. 

Join me on my journey of Las Vegas Area Small Business Profiles to learn more about the Small Business providers who make a difference in our community!

Cash REMAINS KING in the Las Vegas Area Real Estate Market!!!  It is important for every buyer in the Las Vegas Area Real Estate Market to understand who their buyer competition is in this currently competitive seller's market LV is enjoying!  It is important to understand how a seller looks at each financing type:

Cash Offers:  Generally have less contingencies and quicker close times.  A cash offer may be accepted even if it is lower than a financed offer.

Conventional Financing:  Less strict with lender required repairs but larger down payments and more strict credit guidelines.

FHA/VA Financing:  Requires more scrutiny with lender required repairs via appraisal.  In general these take longer to underwrite and close so a cash or conventional offer looks more enticing to the seller.  Requires the deed to be seasoned for several months so some flips bought at trustee's sales are generally out as options when competing with multiple offers!

Other:  Less common and creative financing types such as Lease Options, OWC (Owner Will Carry), etc.
