Depends on who does the move. Hire a reputable moving company. Don't just pick up some guys from outside the local U Haul place.

I'm moving up there too but probably in another year. My brother is staying in LA. Dad's a big golfer but both are not big on gambling. They could care less about the weather.

Sell the house. Send your parents to the Fred Jordan Mission. And spend 300K on some broads. They'll thank you for it.

@HotRodHarry unfortunately my dad can't handle it since he has early stages of Parkinson's.

Mom recommended me to this site because she thinks I don't have enough friends.

Move to Arizona. It is way better than Nevada.

Just Saying

Phoenix is nice as well as Sedona.

If your parrents like Manny Pacquiao then go to Vegas.

What can I say : At least you will be closer to PacMan when he fights in Vegas.

IMHO he is over the hill since he lost to Mayweather.

@2small4porn Thanks!! I will show them this strategy. They’re pretty much done in CA. But an extra house in IE to invest in is not a bad idea. They said hello no to Arizona and Texas.

I don't understand peeps who move from l.a. to the desert. why not move to Thailand instead? everything is cheaper--especially hospice care or a (wet) nurse for your dad.

Just rent out the house and live off the rental income in Thailand or Philipines.

"Mom recommended me to this site because she thinks I don't have enough friends."

The above maybe the funniest thing posted here in the 10+ years I have been a member.

If your mother is a member here, or even just makes good lumpia, post more information.

Thanks!! Well they are headed there next weekend to check out houses so hopefully they can decide by then if they want to take out a Line of Credit or just buy one in cash. I just found out they have cash stashed away lol.

The funny thing is, why can't they just pay off this house hmmm...

2,500 sq. Ft In a gated community would probably run 450 to 500,000.
That would be for a house less than 10 years old.
Of course then you're gonna have associations fees.
If you're gonna play golf you might as well get a house inside of a community with golf courses.
