Space in a room can be just an illusion

The general consensus, until recently, seemed to be that bigger is better. McMansions are the only way to go and the one who has the most toys at the end is the winner. But now, in light of the great paradigm shift that has occurred in our economy, many of us are re-evaluating our priorities and have come to realize that simpler can be better and that smaller isn’t such a bad thing after all. In fact, downsizing has become a very attractive way to go.

Reader learns the hard way about outstanding liens on auctioned homes

Q: I purchased a home during the Clark County sheriff’s auction on March 3 and paid cash. On March 10, the homeowners association, through a collection agency, recorded an Homeowner Association lien on the property of about $1,024. This lien was from HOA assessments that were not paid by the previous owner. On March 16, I recorded the Trustees Deed upon Sale. When I contacted the agency and asked them to clear the lien, they told me the amount of the lien was now $1700, which included a transfer fee of $300 and additional fees. I received a letter saying I had 10 days to pay or they were going to file a Notice of Default and begin foreclosure proceedings. This would add another $300 to the lien amount. I talked to the HOA community manager, but she would do nothing to help me. I paid $1,400 to settle this matter.
