We currently have the 2nd highest foreclosure rate in the nation and uncertainty with changes in the casino market.  

Thanks again Chris Mason for taking the time, that is extremely helpful knowledge for this new investor.Al Casino , also a very valid point.

The local govt has a history of corruption & overspending.Last time I was down the Hilton Coronado had shut down its casino.

Purchase price: $482,000,000 Cash invested: $26,000,000 The Las Vegas property is a Hotel and Casino, Chicago is a 814 unit profile.

I personally was out there gathering information and documents regarding raw Oceanfront property (with permits in place for Hotel Casino and Resort), Acreage for agriculture development (Puerto Rico is blessed with very Fertile Soil), some shopping centers in urban areas and 2 private islands that a broker wants me to help him market here in the States.

Sell stuff on craigslist, get a loan against a car you own (if you have enough room on DTI), go to a casino....

That's a nice coastal area with CBC and Keesler nearby; the casinos don't hurt either.

Also - another personal funny moment - I love that our society says you can blow money at the casino with equity in your home, but don't you date invest it lol.
