Each industry I researched turned out to be more of a gamble than an investment.

If you are Joe Schmo they don't know anything about it's a huge gamble for them to recommend to the seller to take your offer.  

If you live on the border of two states and you rental is 15 min away in another state, you don’t count!!! 

One should never rely on appreciation to make their profits, this is somewhat a form of gambling.

Stock is a bit of gambling, I rather owning a property and renting it out.

Gambling, black jack, cards... numbers game = luck!

Major international airport (everyone around the globe wants to gamble!).

Vegas is driven by CROWDS, and people will not be jumping back to big crowded environments so quickly and I can't picture people at nightclubs and pool parties flirting with masks on LOL Gambling is driven by excess capital, it's hard to say how that will be effected here but with many locals out of work the casinos will be reliant on tourism which I think is going to be a while recovering. 

They may have overextended themselves or want to liquidate what they have because they are gambling that they can buy even cheaper in 6 months, who knows.

It was a gut call but we just didn't like the burbs on the Indiana side of the border (Hence why we also explored Indy) Our primary problem with the numbers at the time was there just wasn't enough sales activity for us to pull the trigger.
