For being the most enthusiastic greeter to new members on BiggerPockets over the past week, you have won the "grand prize" for this little contest, and will get a BiggerPockets Hooded Sweatshirt.I'll announce the 2 other winners tomorrow.Thanks to everyone who participated.

we used to just do residential loans but my eyes and the owners eyes were always looking at bigger and better things.well we started doing international project funding for construction projects such as hotels, casinos, and condo developments (and of course the raw land projects in costa rica everyone seems to love).a few months ago my boss got rid of our residential side and now it is just the two of us.

Through our vast networks we do a lot of financing deals, buy/sell side of hotels/casinos/bulk REO, import export, trading commodities, and entertainment.

They are committed and enthusiastic.

In addition, we have direct source to investors who purchase hotels, hotels-casinos world wide.

He thought I was being overly enthusiastic yet again and viewing the projected profits through rose-colored glasses.I just kept talking, kept running the numbers for him and showed him every scenerio I could think of-- best case, worst case, in-between case.

He gets his commission check and goes to the local casino (this is Vegas).

I had to tell my friend that it was not the old crew, but a reboot of the franchise, similar to Batman Begins and Casino Royale.

He has many many RI ventures, including casinos.

You are in what i call the "casino effect".
