And just because it is not cash flow does not mean it is gambling or any more or less valid or profitable. 

@Matt HubertI’m a bit bias but I like Tampa because we have 3 pro sports teams, big concerts and festivals, gulf beaches, spring break/spring training, and two downtowns (Tampa and Saint Pete) so there is a lot of draw to the area besides one thing.

Downtown now has a large gathering area with an ice skating rink, a gambling casino, condos galore, shopping plazas and restaurants all around the Rock-n-Roll Hall of Fame, and even the flats now has a new design.

Trying to weigh out if the potential upside would be worth it, but that's a calculated gamble.

If you walked up to Michael Jordan and said, "I want to be learn sports" he would walk away.

So it’s a little gamble that’s taking here as it cost extra as 700 per month around 8.4K per year from my pocket .

Maybe that is the gamble.  

Are you a gambling man?

Rents and royalties, after certain deductions, depreciation or depletion allowances, and gambling winnings are also treated as ordinary income.

Also there's a community college, and a private college within walking distance (graduations, sporting events, and another ministry school that draws people to conferences from around the world)The past few years we've leased the house out for $3400 per month plus they do all maintenance (we live in southern California and house is in Redding, CA)I was thinking for a group vacation rental our property might work.
