Wow, I cannot even list all the ways this home purchase is a bad idea but I will try:
1. It is in a bad neighborhood
2. It is very small
3. If she went to rent something in this area with this square footage her payment would be like $800 a month not the $1,500 she is looking at if she purchases
4. There are homes in Summerlin, generally considered to have the best schools, with 500 more sq feet for about the same price
5. Did she have her realtor check the pending foreclosures and unpaid taxes in this neighborhood
6. This home is old, when was the AC replaced, hot water heater, etc
7. There are some homes that are becoming a good idea to own rather than rent in LV, but this is not one of them
