Seems like the economy is dying here as the casinos die and the investors are few and far between.

I know people who have bought duplexes and triplexes lately -- your competitors -- and are thrilled to bits, but they're not investors looking at their houses with investor eyes. 

It looks well taken care of and it's in an area we would be thrilled to live in.  

Schenectady seems like a great area to invest in if the casino gets passed.

I've always aspired to be an entrepreneur so I'm thrilled to actually make a go at it.  

Starting and building my business was a thrill, but now that its going and I don't want to expand further, my creative business part of my brain needs a new venture!

Or just walk away, keep my money and look for other games to play at the casino?

Put the money in cash so you don't lose money in the Wall Street casino.  

I am determined and I am thrilled to be here and take advantage of all BP has to offer! 

When interest rates are rising, as they eventually will, and housing prices falling at some point in the future (and they will, as everything is cyclical)...well, I would not thrilled to be on the wrong side of those ARM and balloon mortgages.
