These homes are within 4 miles of the main strip and casinos.  

Hello All, So i am in this ever learning adventure to better my investments, i recently asked about managing the properties myself, i have always hired PM in the past so far and one very detailed post mentioned that she recommend that i purchase Quickbooks Pro and start learning the software now before i start self managing so i could do things right from the start.

Where is the safest place to put it that will allow me to (choose your own adventure here) and get an acceptable return of XX%?"

It seems like Chicago and Illinois is headed down this path - unless new revenues (like casinos, marijuana legalization), privatization and cuts (that won't cause folks in stable or gentrified, i.e. taxpaying areas to move) are found very quickly.

For the adventurous, live in an RV, Garage, or improved Shed, and rent out the main house.

Overall it became a $24K adventure...It looks and works great, the tenants love it and I am sure I'll get the money back at sale if the appreciation keeps  at the current level.

It's always good to diversify; being exposed to a different currency, a more stable marketplace etc - as long as you know what you are doing, you are being realistic and ready for some adventure in life:-)

Thats an online casino.

Casino boats..... just saying......

I did a quick Google search and found a $200 million project called Glass City Riverwalk "Glass City Riverwalk is expected to become one of the region’s most popular destinations, with year-round outdoor recreation opportunities, including adventure play areas and an ice skating ribbon."
