Sell stuff on craigslist, get a loan against a car you own (if you have enough room on DTI), go to a casino....

The parimutuel horse track and casino, Hoosier Downs owned and operated by Churchill Downs, is a significant attraction to local patrons given the local mall is basically non-existent.

Because there is a slot for earnest money amount on my P&S agreement. 

B/C title company have recording slots .. only way they can do it early is to request a special and it has to be truly a special circumstance before the county will let them come in and record at time other than their daily allotted time.Now we would be fubared in Wayne county  ( Detroit) takes that inept county 2 to 4 months to record anything   LOL>..

We currently have the 2nd highest foreclosure rate in the nation and uncertainty with changes in the casino market.  

@Chris Clothier  posted his stats  on their company.. maybe you can find that post.Majority own 4 or less ( mortgage slots) however many own more than that.One of my vendors in another market has one client that bought 60 plus homes from them.. although he is fully engagedlast time I was on a vendor trip and in their office this guy was there working with maintenance teams and PMs.. usually financing is the hold back to larger portfolios.

The local govt has a history of corruption & overspending.Last time I was down the Hilton Coronado had shut down its casino.
