Especially considering your only other lodging options are smokey casinos or run down motels.I also don’t buy the “there’s always huge crazy parties going on” excuse often given by residents in these cases.

It gives the same high at winning at the casino.

Yes, he keeps more than he makes and is building wealth or no, this guy can barely pay his electric bill each month because he enjoys spending all of his money at the casino.

Just like there are people that make money in the casino in Vegas..... strike it rich..... but the majority lose....Life happens....... stuff is gonna happen that is gonna cost you $$..... you had better have a back up plan.No way in hell am I taking that risk without a serious back up plan for WHEN...not IF..... things take a turn....

The game your looking at is depending on real estate appreciation, which you would be better to take your money to the closest Casino and put it all on Black (or Red if you like red better).

Airy Casino about that 10 minutes away from the casino

Details I'm looking at: Budget is 350k; 3+ BR, 2+ BA; Single-Family Home or Townhome; Low HOA; Also looking to rent rooms (House Hack).Amazon workers are not likely to live in Anacostia... that would require them to go over two bridges in order to get to work.... if an Amazonian is looking for cheap housing they are more likely going to look at Prince Georges County in Suitland or Oxon Hill by the MGM casino and then they only have to cross the Wilson Bridge. 

Just across the bridge from new Springfield MGM Casino.

Find a bimbo in a casino lounge to pay $10,000 to get married and divorced later, with a solid prenup, and get $500K instead of $250K.  

If you really want to get rich quick why not go to the casino?
