You’ll learn how Paul discovered the vital difference between investing and speculating, why falling in love (with a deal) is incredibly dangerous, and the huge real estate gamble that Paul made that cost him $40,000.

Its educated gambling..... and you may hit a grand slam...or you may get punched in the nuts...... its personal decision on your risk tolerance.Sometimes that huge leap of faith and "screw it, I'm going for it" can reap huge rewards....and sometimes it doesn't.For every "I bought it sight unseen and its doing great", I would easily bet there are dozens that have been totally screwed...some of them don't even know it yet.

If I were to buy another home in Jersey, I would likely buy in Bayonne again, but would make sure it was in a pocket convenient to the light rail.

I sell time and convenience, and motivated sellers are motivated for various reasons.

I'd love to grab a cup of coffee when convenient for you!

If I build an ADU will my property taxes go up.My mother is disabled and needs a structure that is convenient for her.

I made an offer on a 4-plex last week but to my surprise the selling agent just found it convenient to mention today that the seller has "started the eviction process" on one of the tenants - rookie mistake I know I should have dug deeper and not assumed anything. 

Get very familiar with the eviction process in your market and follow things to the letter and quickly.Make sure to vet tenants thoroughly and pick wisely (and even then it is a gamble). 

You can't beat Atlanta for growth, appreciation, ok income yield, and convenience if you live here.
