one of the best investments I ever made was I bought 4 acres behind the home depot in Rohnert park in 1995.then all of a sudden they build the graton casino right across the street from me. :)  well no cash flow but I paid 27k for it  CASH and paid 300 a year in tax's and listed it for 3 million currently had one offer at 2.4.. not sure if a rental at 27k over the last 20 some years would have done better but got to love path of progress CA real estate..

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.

My dad is always blaming the casinos for the problems there... any money people earn doesn't go into the community, it goes to the casinos.
