The issue isn't with the hard money lenders so much, it's with the market turning into a casino more and more.... and the fact that I was looking to lifestyles to provide me with ALL my deals.

Too bad that Casino didn't get built in Kenosha, Thanks Walker! 

Here is my response to that question:I don't go to casinos to gamble.

They would prefer them to be torn down and apartments, hotels or casinos built there as they bring in a much higher tax base for the city/county.

It was enough to pique my interest, but not enough for me to sign up for a $20,000 to $50,000 course of education and training.For a short while after that, I went to a few conferences hosted by another guru group that boasts training course that are organized along the lines of a university curriculum, with basic classes that lay the basis for more advanced material.My conclusion was that those courses were well-organized and the material was good, but the organization itself was geared toward bringing people into the fold to sell more course materials to other people.

The place you've mentioned, Is that where Emerald Queen Casino is ?

I had two try this one us and we just said no and they clsoed anyway.. we had a sale yesterday to a hedge fund that closed with no hitches we have one today in Vegas were we had a FHA buyer  the only issue is they had to get a letter from their employer that they will be back to work once the 30 day closure of all Casinos' is over.. so thats closing today with no concession.. 

I mean I was in Oregon and bought 13 new construction homes down there for the tax bene's it had to be new construction.. so it really boomed the area.. all the Casinos got the huge write offs car dealers all built new facilities office and retail went up all over the place.. it worked.. maybe something like that would work on a national scale..

Here is Russellville we have the 3rd largest university in the state and are about to get a very large casino resort.Honestly, if I had $150k in cash I would be looking to put $50k down on three different properties and spread the risk. 

Also - another personal funny moment - I love that our society says you can blow money at the casino with equity in your home, but don't you date invest it lol.
