Infrastructure Trend: The one consistent improvement I see everytime I visit (and I do mean everytime) is that there is always a casino being built/remodeled (I imagine that this is a perpetual event)---this isn't infrastructure in my opinion.

Michael Desmond, tax legislative counsel at the Treasury Department, said last week that the Bush administration would back the measure anyway.Bush issued a statement saying he applauded the House action.

My boss who is direct to one of our major investors is in need of a Las Vegas Casino that he can purchase for 65%LTV or lower.

They bought into a game they could not afford to play in the first place and a 1/2 point off the Fed Fund Rate is not going to help them.Good Luck,JasonTo extend your point Jason, many of the mortgage solutions are tied to the 10 year treasury so a Fed rate cut matters rather less.

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.
