In this week’s vlog, I talk to real estate broker and attorney Tara-Nicholle Nelson about how homeowners who are struggling to make their mortgage payments can get their loans modified and avoid foreclosure.

Las Vegas visionary Steve Wynn’s Manhattan home is just as luxurious as the world-class resorts he builds.
The mind behind such Sin City landmarks as the Bellagio, Wynn and Encore has listed his seventh-floor condo at 817 Fifth Avenue (at 63rd Street) for $25 million. Furniture included.
Wynn reportedly paid $7 million for the unit in late 2000, but made some extensive renovations. The 3,500+ square foot luxury home features nine rooms, including a master suite and bath fit for a billionaire like Wynn.
The original living room, formal dining room and library were combined to form one massive living area and media center.
The unit has a new formal dining room and a state-of-the-art electronics system. And check out the breathtaking views from those windows — beautiful Central Park and New York City.

NFL fans are mourning the loss of football great Steve McNair, who was tragically killed on July 4.
The former quarterback of the Tennessee Titans and later the Baltimore Ravens was found in a Nashville condo he rented, shot dead, along with his 20-year-old girlfriend Sahel Kazemi. Police ruled McNair’s death a homicide and are investigating the case as a possible murder-suicide.
According to reports, the then-married McNair had planned to divorce his wife. The couple had listed their 9-bed, 9.5-bath mansion in the Green Hills neighborhood of Nashville for $3 million.
The 14,000+ square foot home in Woodmont Estates features 26 spacious rooms, vaulted ceilings, a theater room, pool, sauna and hot tub/spa.
See more pictures of the inside and outside of this 1.33-acre estate in the listing on FrontDoor.com.
Perhaps a die-hard Titan fan will find value in walking the halls McNair once did.
