I worked in the casino business for years watching high bets in the games here.

I'm not a big poker person, I'm more of a Casino War person..or the old "I'm thinking of a number" game.

And it sounds like you've got the trends pegged (i.e. more casino workers, not as much focus on DOD, etc).

I can then either save on my utility bills or raise the rent a touch higher and be able to boast a new energy efficient furnace.

After hitting what I'd call a Grand Slam flip that produced a net profit of over $800,000, and at the risk of sounding boastful or as a braggart, I was conflicted whether or not to tell this story.At the end of the day, I decided to write it because I read a lot of questions from people curious about how deals are found and financed, and what the numbers look like.

When somone starts out by introducing themselves as "my company" sounds a little boastful, Are they saying they work for a company orAre they saying they own the company?

Knowing that he tends to underestimate, I assumed $200k a piece and the numbers made sense, so we forward with the purchase.The homes are park front homes about 15 minute walk from the Steelers and Pirates stadium and 20 minutes to the casino and downtown.

So the dream is to be a badass intelligent investor with money coming in every month, and also a successful casino destroyer.

(You might have better luck at the casino.)- You need a solid ARV and a solid REPAIR COSTS:   i.e. 

I believe there are a select few individuals that can get superior deals in many markets, and these people aren't running out and advertising and boasting about their formula.
