I did enjoy going to all the casinos with all the great poker action.I also enjoy buying 35k properties that I can rent for $800. 

You mentioned this property is near new casino construction.

Not to say there aren't people who are great developers and make money doing it, but I would say it is not the best way to get started in real estate.   15 acres of raw land sounds like a deal for someone who has made plenty of money doing a variety of deals and now wants to go to the casino to take some of those winnings and double down.Only you know your plan.....I think you start with what the city wants to be there. 

Here in Ohio 50 million dollar license fee to start a casino.

The main difference between you and I might be that I'm using a property manager to take care of bed bugs and toilets, which goes against your final point about having better luck at a casino.

A former Structural enginee:  designed airports, casinos, 1M+ sf industrial buildings.

I know times they be a changin... though.was just in Lincoln last summer for my niece's wedding stayed at Thunder Valley that's one nice Indian casino and hotel  by the way.My direct mail that I do now is in other states one were I live and others in the deep south were I am active.

I am looking to connect with investors in Alabama...I have a few properties in Atmore, AL mins away from the casino is anyone is interested.

But for right now the only buyer I would trust is someone with the actual cash. on the flip side we had 5 closings this last week  One hedge fund  One refi  ( big one ) One sale to owner occ ( Vegas and they were laid off from Casino just needed to get a letter from Casino that they will go back to work in 30 days which they did and FHA funded) payoff from 2 turnkey buyers one a US citizen the other I think from South America and one other owner occ all of these in different states..
