for 26k.. was not buildable but it was right behind a home depot shopping center and within 1/4 mile of freeway and freeway off ramp.fast forward 20 years and the Graton Indians bought the land next door for 240 million and built the largest Indian gaming casino in Northern CA if no all CA... right next to me.. they brought in all the infrastructure so that now I have sewer and water paved road and stop light within one lot of me.Along with the city bringing me into the city limits and zoning me mixed used resi.. looking at commercial on the bottom and 50 plus condos on top.. market value in that area about 3 mil. now... but hey it never cash flowed a day I had to pay 300 a year in prop tax'  Prop 13.. and mow it once in while.. so its for all those reasons I think one needs to be somewhat of a risk taker and visionary.. now 26k for me was not much risk.. but it could have continued to be worthless non buildable piece of land..  

(A casino reference)  Go and find the person, whether male or female, who can do what you need done.I also think that women's investing groups are also self limiting. 

It's a great city for tenants because the casinos employ a lot of people, and the tourism industry stayed strong during the recession.2.

Hiking trails with waterfalls, sandy beaches with fresh water to play in, miles of untouched shoreline in beautiful parks, oceans and razor clamming, skiing in winter, fishing, casinos, Seattle, a zillion wonderful micro-brewers, wineries  ... we would ski in the morning, drive down the mountain and take our dog to the beach on the river and play in the sun all afternoon.  

Let me put it to you this way, in Las Vegas you can chose to gamble on many different slot machines, all of which the casino keeps a percentage of every dollar poured into the machine. 

They are also building a casino development on the Mohawk River waterfront.  

Some people have taken their paychecks to the casino and hit it big. 

Saying your tenant is paying the interest on your mortgage is like saying you can gamble at the casino when you’re ahead because you’re playing with the houses money.
