The sectors we are interested in are healthcare, casinos, resorts, and large urban redevelopment projects ( mixed use ).

You hear economic drivers like new sports complex in Rantoul, casino coming to Danville, etc.

Off grid home's that are on the states power supply and are rented out by the night for people passing through since it's right by a main casino and horse track.

Some homes built between 1900 and 1940 make excellent vacation rentals, and people like the "cutie" vibe.You can get a general feel for the pricing by going to my real estate website at LoganAndersonllc.com I forgot to mention the 12 casinos

But, their efforts do not compare to the clout of the major hotels and casinos.

I live near a casino where hotels rooms are tough to come by, so a demand for short term housing may exist. 

When a vacationer has a choice of ski lodge condo (right next to the slopes), casino hotel, motel, or house, they often choose the former before the latter.  

Residents pay just 0.74% of their home value in property taxes, one of the lowest rates in the country.Nearly one-fourth of the city’s labor force works in the arts and entertainment industry, and three casinos are among the top five employers.

I stay out of casinos. 

So if you believe that the stock market is a better investment and are more comfortable with it then go for it, but me I think it is a casino and the fundamentals are dead so I stay away.
