From Fishing, boating, hiking, and biking in nature, to downtown shopping and bath houses, to the Casinos and Horse Races, you will not be disappointed.

not COC, not IRR, not cash flow, not sponsor experience, not GP/LP but just simple long term fixed rate loan and plus quality location.That's the mantra worldwide.

FYI: Sylvester Stalone did an ad for the North Coast in the Egyptian Midterranean recently... but in any case, if you would like more info, would happy to talk and/or introduce to more experienced people who know about short-vactation rentals worldwide (including Greece and Cyprus).

No permits within a certain distance of the casinos/hotels.

True, as Borja and Erwin suggested, banks are much more flexible in the US than in Spain but what matters way more in wealth building is the level of interest rates and there is no contest there.Normally, banks worldwide only lend to their own citizens, there are citizens and there are Spanish and American banks that will lend to non-residents.A Spanish resident could get an interest rate as low as 2.5% and a non-resident would pay 2.9%.

People are going crazy in and around Bridgeport right now because there is a lot of development and still talk or even action at this point regarding a new casino from what I hear.Also doesn't hurt that it's so close to Stamford and New York of course.You can make money investing just about anywhere... but I prefer to pay attention where everyone is going, and go in the opposite direction.

The vast majority of domestic steel, and world wide even, is via MN taconite.

If you have 50k of debt because you went to the casino and blew it, that's -50k.if you have 50k of debt against a 75k house, think of it as +25k (rather than thinking of it as 50k you have to pay back).

@Katie Camargo full disclosure, Boob runs a VA provider service.I don't know anything about his business, but do know there are probably 20+ companies in the space.You can also try to hire your own part-time VA on Upwork (worldwide) or OnlineJobsPH (Philippines only).Just understand that many VA's are task driven and really not success driven.
