Even in the high end real estate market (casinos, hotels, bulk reo packages) you will find that there is a lot of overseas oil money (not necessarily US allies) buying big chunks of these high end US properties.

Especially since casinos aren't even really popular now, and the fact that a vast majority of homes are owned by investors. 

sure they cheat blatantly at the casino but the marine environment is stunning.complacency always costs money,

Haha, Seth I just got back from snow skiing and the casino and leave tomorrow for two weeks at the beach.Pay someone to do the work and go on vacation with the TIME you saved.

Especially with a potential casino going in, I feel as though more and more people will be going closer to the city.I agree with your thoughts on a PM - But hey, if making money on real estate were easy, then everyone would be doing it!

I've read a lot about atlantas plans of development including the belt line transportation expansion, MGM grand developing casinos, Mercedes coming to town and much more going on.

We have Indian Casinos just a short drive into the mountains;)

I believe the casinos are not really attracting a lot of attention anymore, so that probably means less employment in that area versus the last 5-10 years.

I own 4 acres right across from the Graton Casino and am working with Rohnert park on a mixed used resi commercial plan.. they need housing. but as you know in that area its just SO expensive to get the dirt ready for vertical and the building permits and systems development fee's are off the charts.Even here in Portlandia.. 

It would be similar to running to the Casino and playing a single hand with all your money.
