I started buying rentals because the stock market is like a casino.

But its not unlike gambling in a casino.  

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.

Real Estate is not supposed to be a casino. 

. - There are over 60,000 people employed by casinos in Las Vegas, Nevada. - We continue to get new developments by businesses other than the hospitality industry.Appreciation.

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.

Medical buildings and Casino have really created a hot market, and it will just increase.  

Close access to lakes, ski resorts, casinos, and golf courses.Also areas like The Hideout, Lake Ariel, and Lake Wallenpaupack are worth looking into also.

I actually worked at Cache Creek Casino for a while when I went back to college late in life (at Woodland's Yuba College campus).It even flooded pretty bad back then (late 1990's). 

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