You have a better chance of losing everything you gamble....or getting struck by lightning.Slow down!  

I worked with several rating systems like this in my time as a language teacher, with the two most prominent being the University of Cambridge Local Examination Syndicate in the UK and the University of Michigan English Language Institute here in the USA.In starting this thread, I was thinking that the confusing task of trying to assign letter grades to neighborhoods accurately would be helped if we could come up with something like the rating rubric I use at my job, but instead applied to real estate.

Asking the question means you don't know this industry well enough yet and it would be gambling. 

I'm not a big fun of Las Vegas as this city relies mostly on tourists coming over to loose their money , there will be less of them in the future as people simply won't have money to loose, not essential plane trips will have to be curbed to tackle global warming, and the city doesn't have much more to offer apart of gambling.

I have used this strategy in the UK fir the last 15 years.

I feel investing for cap. gains is "gambling".

Yes, it's a gamble, but hopefully worth it. 

I was pleasantly surprised to learn about the solid growth and economic drivers (Xerox, UPS, IBM, Toyota, and of course UK) in the area.  

Same with extended stay chains.Best wishes to you.I love that tip and it takes a lot of the gamble out of the equation.

I know it is pretty big in the UK but just curious what are peoples thoughts on this type of insurance?
