I almost came to LR for the game, glad I didn't. 

You just might have the passion it takes to be successful in the game of monopoly.

Then I became a self made success in the video game world, and then moved my success into many different business types.

I am here to learn and excited to get my Real estate business growing.I am from Utah, Ogden Weber / Davis area and love to golf any local investors want get game and talk shop hit me up.

Bigger Pockets has an awards system, which helps you step up real estate game.

Currently, only one site puts true skin in the game by co–investing in every deal: Acquire Real Estate.

I've seen writing contests for properties but never a raffle which would (in NYS) be considered gambling (games of chance) and also involving US Postal service which gosh they have rules about all sorts of stuff you can/can't do via mail. 

My belief (contrary to the late night, get rich quick infomercials) is that the long game gets you results in real estate.

@Mike Alder  good luck I grew up in the business.. must watch movie for any land man is Glenn Garry Glen ross... you will see how all these lots you want to buy were created in the first place.land game dates back to just after the turn of the century  ( not 2000) when promoters went through the US creating mega subdivisions prior to any state or federal land development rules.. so you have all these old tracks and the parcels have been traded for 100 plus years.. lost at tax sale bought by someone like you or my dad.. resold on terms  those folks default or lose to tax's and the cycle repeats.Florida created massive subdivisions to attract residence's since no one wanted to live in swamps and such.. think Le High and Coral Gables..
