Beats going to the casino.

No, I don't know if the Casino will explode the real estate values in the city.

I left right as construction was starting on the casino.

Don't tell anyone that I told you, but...just wait until the Casinos are approved in the 6 sites scheduled for development.

I get that but to me there are other things you can take calculated risks on.. this property is now right across the street from the Graton casino hotel built next door up zoned etc..

and the others since I am sitting here in Sin city.. is the Casino companies down 75%.. 

My goals are income replacement, something to generate a solid growth and return decoupled from the Wall Street casino, insulated from the vagaries of a cyclical business in which I'm gainfully employed, maybe liquidated in 15 years to a 1.5M.  

I'm making more on unemployment than I was dealing poker at the casino.

However, I don't see a problem with continuing to average in, even during a downturn.More importantly, I think real estate is the best hedge against the markets ;)And I think the next best hedges are precious metals and bitcoin.I think the dollar is going to see a real devaluation, and lose its standing as the world reserve currency, bitcoin as sovereign and decentralised money will take its place.

So you can’t just pull out money when you’re at the casino.
