So, is it possible to get an outright loan for say 100,000 and use that to buy, flip and sell a house for a profit?

It goes to your preference, of course, but whichever can produce the greatest ROI should be considered.There are many markets in Michigan, for example, where it is cheaper to buy an existing house and fix it up than it is to build new.That may not be the case where you are at or through the construction suppliers and contractors you may have access to.To Your Success!

that OR consider buying a property you could short-term rent to people who literally just want to visit the casino if it's a large/decent one. 

Keep the current investment and buy another house hack to live in.

This is especially true if you're trying to buy in the best location possible.

It's also rare you buy these properties with 20-25% and have NOTHING you need to address almost immediately in terms of repairs or capex. 

why on gods green earth would you want to buy 10k condemed houses :)  seems like a waste of time and money to me.
