I'm a conservative person, not much of a gambler, so when I watched my first webinar and saw how you analyzed properties I felt a lot more comfortable making the decision to invest. 

One of my friends owns a couple of condos in Vegas and, although he's doing ok on them right now (I didn't ask for exact numbers), his main concern is that Las Vegas is a one-trick pony with regards to being reliant on gambling.Normally, that's not a bad thing, but these days a lot of the high-limit gamblers are not going to Vegas anymore, but to places like Macau.

I now have a credit score of 800, have enough money to cash buy 3+ homes & because of my job I cannot be financed.I am a professional poker player & file taxes as a professional gambler.
