Everett is a good option too and there I'd focus on this small little neighborhood that's close to the casino and right near nightshift brewing. 

The town has been slowly growing as the commercial center of the region for some years and is in construction on a sports-tourism complex and a casino-hotel.I would finance the needed rehab with the equity, inspectors and contractors have already been through it for a prior offer and given the needed work a thumbs-up. 

The scene in the movie Casino where the guys are being bludgeoned with baseball bats come to mind when things go south.

If so, investing for appreciation driven by other factors would be in the same category as going to the Casino.

3 colleges, a casino, an airport, big medical center....crime rate is a little high but coming from New York it doesn’t feel bad.

The schools aren't going anywhere, the hospitals aren't going anywhere, there's a casino thats almost finished.

Kind of like one of those Indian casino's.

If you are looking to buy land and knock down properties and just sit on them I would look going behind the Motor City Casino and buying in the area. 

Everyone has their own things that they splurge on - travel, casinos, designer wear,etc.

Way to many casino stories on here.
