I get that but to me there are other things you can take calculated risks on.. this property is now right across the street from the Graton casino hotel built next door up zoned etc..

I had a blast walking into Cincy over the Roebling and hitting the casino and then across into Newport and over the Licking back to Covington. 

If that doesn't work out, the addition of a new casino in the city has generated a great of development funds which have been directed to this neighborhood in the next couple of years should (at least in my opinion) allow the housing values to appreciate enough to keep up with inflation at the very least if I later decide that my future family's situation makes keeping the house unfeasible.

The third one got all the Casinos.

Things like the stock market, the casino, and the state lottery are all open to me.IMO the 200K income bar is too high. 

There are a lot of plants that are/will be opening in the area as well as extensive expansion of the casinos in Downtown Detroit.

If you're buying rented properties (whether SFRs or hotel/casinos or anything in between) making investments into such deal (i.e., buying into partnerships in those sort of deals), or you're loaning someone money, you're investing.

The casino industry is collapsing (in AC) and many people are out of work.

Tribal casinos / resorts are also a big plus to the areas growth.The park management fees are already included in the expenses on my first post.

I think Obama owes us a casino.
