Will this end up benefiting only large, connected players?

Anything from small sfr wholesale deals to larger properties including existing hotels, casinos, multiplexes, shopping centers, etc...

I also loved the fact that they re-signed Izzi who is a stellar fielder, .300 hitter and a gamer with speed who could be a lead-off hitter..I like the Matsui for Vladi, but did not like letting Figgins go or our horse - Big John, that said, we still have a very strong starting rotation.The worst of it is not even the players, but in the announcers box.

Joshua meant the offside goal from Mexico this was a big fault of the keeper.Yes Ballack was fouled in the last match in UK premier division 3 weeks ago from an Ghana player our group opponent.

How can RE players (developers, investors) re-purpose this potentially archaic asset class to something else for the future - like apartment units?

A lot of the major local investor players will be at these events. 

If they have a ton of cash and want to keep competitive, they can.Most big players like Rocket and UWM service their loans, but they still sell the loan to FNMA or to their jumbo investor and they usually maintain servicing rights.  

Skiing, camping, golf, shopping and casino's within minutes of the parks.

Might want to get with a commercial real estate broker who focuses on the 10,20 unit type apartments.The big players do not mess with that stuff.

This is especially true when there are a number of players involved.
