A former Structural enginee:  designed airports, casinos, 1M+ sf industrial buildings.

I did enjoy going to all the casinos with all the great poker action.I also enjoy buying 35k properties that I can rent for $800. 

Originally posted by @Tyson Hill:Report is hard to read: $14000 income, $680 total expense (repairs and management).I'm sure that the owner of 2526 E Hampton Ave, Mesa AZ would be thrilled that you are sharing their personal financial information in public forum.

You mentioned this property is near new casino construction.

Along comes a buyer that offers less than the asking price and the agent, being the one that set the price, isn't to thrilled having to go to the seller and explain that they, the agent overpriced the house and maybe it's not worth what the agent told the seller. 

They knew I was not operating a charity in buying their home - they knew I was going to make money, and they were thrilled for me.

I know there are casinos, wineries, and agriculture - does this create enough rental demand to ensure there won't be long term vacancies.

She was laid off by Casino she had to get letter from Casino that she would be back to work after the 30 day shut down..
