If you are worried about the sustainability of the casino, wait a year or so after it opens and the supply and demand imbalance gets fully priced, then sell.

Both with easy commutes to both downtown SF & Oakland but far enough out where you aren't surrounded by skyscrapers.Prices have been bid up a ton already but job growth should lead to a more stable market and sustain these increased rents.

And personality and salemenship is important as well. if you just walk up and are the wet toast kind with no ability to sustain a meaningful conversation and know sales techniques like the guy who does the yellow letters talks about.. your not going to be very successful. good salesmen will out doo the intellect who cant really communicate. 

I like to believe that this experiences will give me some advantages during my seek of sustainable wealth through Real Estate,  Truth is I wish I had concentrate my efforts in this world way before.About Miami, depends on the area, speak Spanish may be useful, I don't know how is the Market according other areas, but still there is some move, the prices are really high, but I have seen some investors finding deals out there.Take Care, and listen to the Bigger Pockets Podcasts. 

If the growth is not sustained long term, then these can be a poor investment too.

@Marie Grabo I don't think limiting yourself to REOs is sustainable.

Consider your tenant's complaint as a good alarm mechanism that your house could sustain structural or fire damage that a little bag from Home Depot or Lowe's could have prevented.  

Rather, all of these items can be easily removed without sustaining damage and without affecting the structural integrity of the building."

The problem is there has been a lot of migration from the Bay so prices have been pushed up more than rents can really sustain. 

It definitely makes the most sense to make every deal a win-win, that's the only way to be truly sustainable in my eyes.
