I believe the casinos are not really attracting a lot of attention anymore, so that probably means less employment in that area versus the last 5-10 years.

I'm thrilled to be joining this forum.  

Management is the answer.Landlord often want out because they are tired of the "thrill of management".  

It is really easy to get hooked on "the deal" -- the thrill or satisfaction from closing a great deal, and to get so focused on making money that you lose sight of why you are trying to make money.

Hi Tori, I just used a new stager for my last flip and was thrilled with her.

I own 4 acres right across from the Graton Casino and am working with Rohnert park on a mixed used resi commercial plan.. they need housing. but as you know in that area its just SO expensive to get the dirt ready for vertical and the building permits and systems development fee's are off the charts.Even here in Portlandia.. 

It would be similar to running to the Casino and playing a single hand with all your money.  

@Brad Fausett - Personaly I'd be thrilled if they were SEC 8.  

Also, of course cashflows.I'm leaning towards a 2-3 bedroom town home in the area just north about the South Point Casino, mainly for the free way access to get to and from the southwest and the strip easily.Send me what you guys have!

I'm Jennifer Stanley and I am thrilled to be learning so much about REI.
