Look at the Macau Floating Casino. https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g664...When I was growing up in the San Francisco Bay Area the hippies started building house boats across the Golden Gate Bridge in Sausalito.http://www.sfgate.com/homeandgarden/article/Sausal...I have some small houses that I built in the State of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and a small farm where I wanted to retire.

I enjoy the occasional gamble but at my current experience level and net worth I'll reserve that for the dime slots so to speak.Rick Pozos Agreed completely.

So, like playing a slot machine, you can either get lucky with just a few properties and have much lower expenses or you can be unlucky and have much higher expenses.But if you own a bunch of properties then it will all average out.

I'm not too familiar with the housing market in E Hartford but I do know they might be building a casino there which will increase city revenue and jobs in the area.

@Jonathan Orr  that's quite a coincidence.. my property is 4 acres at the entrance to the Graton Casino... one of those path of progress plays..

The deposit was refundable and demand high for his slot, so he would wait until building was almost complete, all competing lots had been sold, and then would sell his housing deposit to another home buyer for a substantial profit.

Casinos are bleeding money and have been for the past few years.

But others that are only in the planning stages have gone to the back burner, perhaps never to surface again.When the stock market crashed in October 1929, many ambitious plans that would have changed the face of New York simply vanished.For real estate developers, 1929 seemed like a slot machine stuck in the pay position.

You say = "I’m a winner and need the opportunity to succeed""    I suggest you take that pitch to Vegas and see if any of the Casino's will stake your play...

I'd like to do fill up all my conventional loan slots with properties like this.I'm also looking at 5-20 units properties, but I havent consolidated my criteria just yet on those.
