The checks tend to be much,much larger as well. 

Having watched many prior co-workers get paid, cash their check at the casino, and promptly deposit it all into a slot machine I can tell you with pretty good certainty that casinos don't have a positive effect on disposable income and good use of the existing income in the area surrounding :)Are there solid local employers OTHER than the casino in a 15-minute drive? 

Check it out!

@Nitesh Chand check your state & local laws!

I believe if something happens and the tenant only has it in their name I am unable to get the proceeds because the check will be written to them. 

@Michael Klinger  As others posted, SoFi and Discover personal loans are good options and I've used them in the past.  2-3 business days from application to funds in my checking account. 

Check out meetup.com and join local Facebook groups.Happy to put you in touch with an agent if you'd like.

Also, check if there are incentives or rebates for upgrading to more energy-efficient systems in your area. 

Rae, I would keep checking the sites including FSBO, FaceBkMarktplace, and driving neighborhoods. 

Double-check the ARV by comparing recent comps in the area to make sure the numbers add up.Run your numbers again with all costs (purchase, rehab, holding, and resale) to confirm the margins are solid.
