I’m a bartender to the ultra wealthy now which is easy, reliable income, but I remember working at a casino where I had to choose between the high-roller who’d pay me 100 bucks for a lucky beer or the tweaker lady who’d order a blended mudslide with 5 free cherries and tip me in pocket lint.

Nowadays I have to hire carpet cleaners and house cleaners separately.My rentals in AZ are mostly SFH's about 1400 sq ft.Thank you in advance!

Just a very blunt assessment of what it takes to do to get ahead nowadays (borrow vs. save) and the dangers of the current anti-capitalist mindset taking hold in America. 

The biggest factor nowadays is leverage. 

Yet, many still gamble.We've heard businesses like In n Out was coming to town, Silverton Casinos promised a new Casino coming in by the Spring Mountain Racetrack as you enter Pahrump, and there's been talk of Harness Racing coming to Pahrump since Nevada is a gaming state but there's no horse racing anywhere and Pahrump is an excellent locationf for that which would bring in lots of revenue and create lots of jobs.

Yes, Amazon lockers are frequent additions to multifamily properties nowadays especially given that more people are shopping online. 

I don't mind paying more for good quality, but nowadays, price and quality are not necessarily correlated. 

Also, is it a hassle to park at casinos?

@Jason White,My first impulse is to say no matter how much you have available you'll want to invest for income in retirement to ensure that your money is growing at such a rate that you drawing your living expenses from it will not deplete the principal during your expectable lifetime.You may want to read up on self-directed retirement accounts and other ways of being a private money lender.My personal thoughts on buying property with no loans is that its roughly equivalent to gambling in the Wall Street Casino.

Virtually all institutional landlords are getting pet rent nowadays so it's becoming the norm.
