I will have my RE License and I have plenty of motivation to work so I don't foresee any problems with surviving in a reasonable mountain town/cityI have a 50k/year casino job right now that I plan on using to save up enough to move West.

The building is walking distance from a college campus and less than a 5 minute drive to downtown area and 10 minutes from a community college, 5 minutes from a hospital and in the near future there will be a casino about 5 miles from it.I have a good relationship with the landlord so hopefully he is open to a creative deal.

My dad's GF gets a phone call, she can't understand the guy and gives the phone to my dad.Hello, sir, I am happy to inform you that you have won the contest at Down Stream Casino and you have won $950,000.00!

While  in contract,  I saw a   foreclosure property in a neighborhood I want to live, great price, (Under 30) great location next to a  Golf Courses, casino and a race track but it needs work..  

But then you'd run into people who might assume you work at one of the casinos. ;-)Bottom line: make it happen!

@Eric OneillThink about putting most of the money in a TIPS etf (Treasury Inflation Protected Security)Look locally for a multi family you can buy and live in using the FHA do that for a year so you get a taste of what being an active investor is like.If you like it start looking for the next one if you hate being a landlord then maybe look for syndications you can invest in as a passive partner.

We have called the SBA and left many messages, sent emails, called treasury, any much more.

In theory if the fed raises rates they could suck some of the liquidity out of the economy, but it does seem like that won’t be happening anytime soon. so it would likely need $130 a barrel oil, 20% percent reduction in stocks, and 10 year treasury closer to 3 percent to likely have an impact in the Smoky market.
