Luckily the realtor tried to show the $1200/mo Hoa as a benefit as I would have “full use of the casino amenities...” less than 5 years later I didn’t buy the equivalent condo for $200k. 

There are a few long time owners that are focused on selling to the little people instead of selling to the big players in the city. 

I agree, none of the big players that I have ever met (or any of our clients) created wealth through cash flow, that’s antiquated.

Hope this helps awser your question.It took me a number of years to get here so it is not all that glamorous compared to some of the other REI players highlighted story.

@Caleb Heimsoth I see there is much for me to learn about the big players in the business.

Housing in such a demand as construction of new casinos ($7B), and Raiders $1.9B stadium, will extend growth through 2020. 

Still hard to find.I would warn you though, so many overpriced "deals" around here are sellers waiting on "california money"  (Out of market players who will accept ridiculously low returns, or no returns, or buy crap neighborhoods with no hope of appreciation).This 10 year run in us real estate is a by product of artificially low interest rates, so we are not sure if it is real!

If I can help you to help me I am a team player !!

Now the big players don't have to do that they can bid all they want without a deposit.

we had about 50 million out and that was 250 investors.pretty sure you will find like kind companies in your state no problemthen just look at loans they present you and make sure they make sense.DONT do this with NEWBIES or people hitting you on the internet talking a great game.. you need to belly to belly and make sure your aligning with top shelf experienced players.
