The Casino was packed but not many people shopping around the town or at the beach.

Since the White Coat Investor analysis I posted earlier seem to be debated by others yet to post counter-point sources I'll share another source that I found while researching WLI a few years back, Consumer Reports. https://www.consumerreports.or...In this analysis from one of the most independently-funded, unbiased consumer advocacy groups in America the outcome was the following: < 5 years: poor investment (versus term)16 years: you break even on cash surrender value + value of insurance received+20 years: dividends exceed term + treasuries alternative, surrender charges disappear In sum CR concludes: This mixed bag of potential benefits and costs is complicated enough for consumers to navigate, but poor disclosure robs consumers of the information they need to comparison shop.

Highly recommend, a must for new investors looking to develop systems and invest long distance.Today’s Interest Rate: 7.28%(☝️ .21%, from this time last week, 30-yr mortgage)Mortgage rates are up significantly this week, following a move in the spread between 10-yr Treasury and 30-yr mortgage rates.

I own 4 acres right next to the Graton Casino  that could be my next project put in about 100 apartments and call it a day.. won't have great returns 5 to 6% but I will get them and not have all the stress and drama like what your going through...

Low HOA fees ($1000/year) and close to the mountains and casino.

With developments like the new casino in Ras Al Khaimah and expected population growth, the appeal is growing.

I am saying that short-term, my return on US Treasuries is better than buying anything with a door with cash in my market.

You can get over 5% on a 26 week TBill on treasury direct while you wait for opportunities to emerge as interest rates continue to correct the market.Be safe out there.

🧐Quick question(s): When I can buy properties for a discount, why would I buy treasuries?

@Nick BednarczykI think people also need to understand that fed rates are not directly correlated to mortgage ratesMortgage rates are more in line with the 10 year treasury which could remain high if we continue to spend money like a drunken sailor
