Not sure how cool Jackson is  LOLbut I was there in Biloxi about 10 days after Katrina I was looking at a 250 unit apartment. tide water came in during the event and water was 6 feet up the walls. it was a major disaster.but from what I saw the good thing was the casino's were allowed to move from being on barges to land and the area exploded. great job on the rental. 

Here a picture he sent me to show he was legit.  

It can not be about the esa if it is legit. 

I ran across a site, myhousedeals.com, and I'm wondering if it or others like it, are legit?

The value and cash flow is legit but im not familiar with long term growth patterns of the area.

It's not you "asking a dumb question" it's your responses to the people who give you legit advise. 

The property is 20 min from Palm Springs, is near a few casinos, and is off the I-10 from Phoenix.

These rules all change for repeat clients, legit investors, attractive or very profitable  projects, etc.

Though if it ever looked like UBI was going to happen I'd probably invest in casinos, liquor companies, Best Buy, etc.  

There are a lot of sleezy operators that know you are out of state and can't prove if all of the service calls were legit and got you by the B***S.
