There aren't a great many deals in the Northeast, especially when you throw the waterfront into the mix.This article is a great read on the general demeanor of AC: http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2014/12/08/i...A big indicator to me is that Donald Trump himself has pulled his stakes out of Atlantic City.

@Donald ZarodaThanks for the link, I'll make sure to take part in it!

I grantee you Donald Trump never swung a hammer before doing his first $100 million deal.In short: spend your time doing the most valuable tasks you can, then reach for the next level.Best wishes!

Welcome to BP, Donald!
