I got a civil engineering firm that can survey and apply for subdivision for 10-15k but I have no idea how likely that gamble is to succeed so I can't really calculate ROI.

For me, I get my satisfaction from sports and real estate 

They don't like dealing with money they don't know where it came from (drugs, prostitution, gambling, theft, blackmail, fraud and so on.)

Sponsor sporting events, etc...

I know the deficit is insanely astronomical, stock market is a gamble and the housing market is slowing, but what is the best way to get a foggy but somewhat clear picture of what is going on?

Cory and Victoria Gamble (CV Investments) are literally the heart and blood of this property making a profit.

Does anyone have performance experience with STR properties close to major sports venues. 

Unplug and relax in the recreational haven of nearly all outdoor sports!

But I don't know anyone that plays tennis anymore.The sport court tiles were much cheaper than 21k when I priced them out for pickleball size at one of our places. 

Inside these units, you’ll often find more dated kitchens and bathrooms, as well as laminate flooring or carpets and they are usually sporting “vintage” appliances.
