Do you see the the interest rates rising after the election and do you think it could negatively affect housing prices despite job growth with the opening of new casinos and stadium etc.?

Amazon coming into the FR area, Tiverton coming in with a Casino so the southcoast market is looking promising where you can still buy multi's for 30-35k a door, even better in some cases.

Look it up on the search slot at the top of your screen, and you'll find hundreds of previous threads about the benefits, and potential negative points, of this strategy.My recommendation is: analyze each deal AS IF you are going to take out the MAXIMUM loan permitted, so as to preserve most of your cash (for OTHER deals).That may mean that your ongoing expenses may not immediately be less than what they are now, BUT, the upside would be that the value of the (multiple) properties you'd be investing in could be MUCH greater than just the one SFR you have now.

I'm mostly interested in buy/hold 2-4 units to create cashflow. however I'm not sure what city to start. at first i was strong on Troy NY but after doing some research i realized it has a lot of vacancies, old abandoned buildings, and lack of jobs. i was also interested in Schenectady NY because of the casino but I'm not sure if i want to bank on that for the a city's financial future.

So the moral is if you wanna take a billion dollars in taxable losses, go buy a few billion dollars worth of casinos, then totally screw up their operations(by the way- when Trump's casinos went belly up, the neighboring casinos were doing just fine,) close 'em down- causing massive job losses- then get a reality TV show which pays pretty well, and you won't owe money on those earnings for quite awhile. 

REIA's run by @Josh Caldwell and he's pretty open to new sub-groups - he can promote it to the whole REIA without looking for vendor slots, etc.

In the past, I did a few rehab rentals in Elgin and they had a program with the city (dollar for dollar match) as part of the Casino incentives.  

You'll get a detailed description in 30 seconds of the slotted uses for that particular zoning classification.

I got nervous about sending that large of wire so I flew up from my Vegas home this morning to PDX to hand deliver a cashiers check.Keep in mind I have the 4 acre parcel right across from the Graton casino.. happy to sell it to you ..  3 mil its yours LOLI have only owned it for 25 years now..

Especially considering your only other lodging options are smokey casinos or run down motels.I also don’t buy the “there’s always huge crazy parties going on” excuse often given by residents in these cases.
