While it's certainly a risky move to gamble with your retirement, it is an option. 

I got a civil engineering firm that can survey and apply for subdivision for 10-15k but I have no idea how likely that gamble is to succeed so I can't really calculate ROI.

They don't like dealing with money they don't know where it came from (drugs, prostitution, gambling, theft, blackmail, fraud and so on.)

I know the deficit is insanely astronomical, stock market is a gamble and the housing market is slowing, but what is the best way to get a foggy but somewhat clear picture of what is going on?

Cory and Victoria Gamble (CV Investments) are literally the heart and blood of this property making a profit.

And they may be more willing to identify their junk at the gamble they may sell it for the $5.

The bottom line is that despite all the number crunching and analysis that tells us a deal is a good one, there is always the unknown or uncontrollable to a degree.

There was legal table gambling, the drinking age was 18, steaks the size of car tires and she made a bundle.

Bye bye all services other than MANDATES that are uncontrollable.
