 Nestled along the Colorado River near the spot where Arizona, California and Nevada meet, Bullhead City is a thriving micropolitan community. The scenic beauty, deep blue skies and majestic mountains make this community a visual paradise. Originally known as Hardyville, the settlement began when William Harrison Hardy began operating a ferry, trading post and inn on the Colorado River in 1864. Construction of Davis Dam, located to the North, began in 1942. Construction was halted because necessary materials were consumed by World War II efforts, however it was resumed in 1946 and the Dam was completed in 1950. A popular recreation area, visitors can choose to enjoy the cold, fast-running waters of the Colorado River for water sports, or the smooth warm waters of Lake Mohave for the bass & catfish angler, or to enjoy the pristine beaches. Other popular activities include off-roading, hiking, and golfing, and just across the river gaming & entertainment in Laughlin, NV, home to nine casinos. The community hosts annual events such as rodeos, a Bluegrass Festival, powerboat races, chili cook-offs, and the Harley River Run. Links to both area Chambers of Commerce are listed below to assist with upcoming community events.  There are many things to see and do in and around Bullhead City. Visit the Colorado River Museum located on Highway 95, between the Laughlin Bridge and the entrance to Davis Camp for an historical perspective of the community. Museum days and hours are,Tuesday through Sunday, 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM, closed during July and August. A $1.00 donation for adults is appreciated and children are free. Located to the South of town, and East on Boundary Cone Road, you will find the mining community of Oatman, Arizona. Step back in time, visit the Oatman hotel, feed the burros, enjoy refreshments, or tour the mine. Mohave Crossings Shopping Center offers venues from Target, Kohls, & Ross just to name a few. Other major retailers in the area include Lowe's, Home Depot, JoAnn's Fabric (opening soon) and several others. The Bullhead City/Laughlin Airport serves flights coming in from throughout the United States and parts of Canada. The Airport Authority continues to successfully obtain grants for improvements and expansion. The airport is designated a "international airport sight". Incorporated in 1984, Bullhead is a relatively new city, and has grown consistently over the last 20 years, and continues to do so today. The area attracts just fewer than 5 million visitors per year. Major employers in the area are the 9 casino properties in Laughlin, Wal-Mart Super Center, Western Arizona Regional Medical Center, Valley View Medical Center, Mohave Electric Cooperative, and City, County and State offices.

Tax Considerations >Tax Deductions
Here is a question which is often asked about real estate sales: which home loan fees are deductible for income tax purposes? It is good to know the answer to this question before you sign on the dotted line. It may influence which loan you will choose. Loan fees for certain services are not itemized on your fee statement, but are grouped together into a single category.
The most obvious deductible fee is the loan fee paid to acquire a mortgage for a principal residence. The IRS recently ruled that the buyer could deduct the fee in the first year, even if the seller paid it! Other deductions include pro-rated property taxes and mortgage interest. On these items, the buyer may only deduct their share.
Most of the other closing costs are not deductible, but you may add them to your home's adjusted cost basis when calculating appreciation. Among these costs are appraisal, attorney, and inspection fees, as well as title, recording and notary fees. Fire insurance fees are neither deductible nor do they figure into the cost basis. If you are not sure which fees are deductible, consult a professional tax advisor.
