But it's more like visiting a casino than it is real estate investing.

Not only did the Casinos rebuild, they expanded - Casinos bought additional large areas of land from adjacent residential neighborhoods from homeowners whose homes were destroyed and whose Hazard Insurance refused to cover "Flood Insurance."

The casino is bringing some gloom to retail tenants who fear that the casino will strip some of their business, and the industrial/warehouse tenants lament the inevitable traffic woes.

This is a business not a casino and if it comes to a bird in the hand versus a gamble I think you are suppose to take the profits!

My name is Josh and I am a superintendent for a residential general contractor; and my wife, Kriss, is in casino management.

All too often it is easy to become emotional in a deal, which clouds logic, similar to being at a winning table at a casino.  

It is home to 3 major sports franchises (Indians, Browns, and Cavs), #1 Medical Institution (Cleveland Clinic), Casino's (MGM), Amazon Fulfillment center, Malls, rapid transit, Universities, etc.

I haven't verified them but the numbers are good.In the Boston area I'd look at Everett for flipping 3 families in to Condos in front of the casino.  

I have a very nice little 4 acre piece I bought in Northern CA back in the early 90's that if I used cash flow as a determining factor i would have never bought it for 27k and suffered negative cash flow of 200 a year in tax's all these years. but I would not also own a property that has just been zone mixed use residential next to the largest casino in CA...  

If you come to town I can guarantee you as the Anishtimator will get free Mai Tais til you puke!
