BTW, I can tell you that you probably don't want to go to Border Patrol or Customs, from second hand conversations.

Since it seems like you need more money and less debt, I think the best way you can get to the "real estate gambling table" is to first get more money.  

What you are doing is gambling with your future.

The paint had to flow with that colour so a light warm grey for all the walls but because we have one of those old ceilings in the living room with the border, we have gone for a darker colour in the same palette with that and done the end wall in the same colour.  

For me it was a gamble to get the licensing, I was getting a divorce and didn't have extra cash - I put everything on a credit card.

Buying land near a city that would provide labor and that is close to the border, and developing warehouses for industrial activity seems like a good idea.Is anyone familiar with similar projects willing to share insight and ideas?

The tenant originally stated he had gambling issues and today when he called he said he had money invested in the USA stock market which 'is taking a long time to clear' this seems like an unlikely story and another ploy to extend the eviction process.

I would never have rented to her for many reasons, primarily because I have no reason to gamble on high risk tenants.Be very careful in the future as you are likely only going to get that lucky once in your life as a landlord, don't let this success story influence your future tenant selection. 9 times in 10 a landlord would have been seriously burned by this type of tenant. 

I won't gamble it and always use an attorney.

Okay guys, this feels like a super-newbie/bordering on embarrassing question at this point.
