There are investors that gamble on transition areas.

@Briyana Hawkins Buying with the hope that an area appreciates is always a gamble. 

But then again, I may take risks, but I never gamble against the house.

Maybe it's a decent gamble - if you lose, you bite the bullet on the 2 months lost rent, get the rehab done and get someone in at 3900.

Has anyone here paid for the Mastery course with Fortune Builders and had any success that they feel they wouldnt have gotten without the massive gamble?

They gamble on appreciation. 

The only thing that matters is how much you're willing to gamble.

There's no "best way" to accomplish this and it's a gamble every time.

Unless the company filed a lawsuit, which you haven't mentioned, they no longer have any interest in the property.If they recorded a lis pendens without filing a law suit the penalty against would let her retire in comfort.If they fraudulently filed a lien of some sort but you haven't indicated anything of that nature, again their penalty would be a nice windfall for her.If . . . she thinks that because they had a purchase and sale agreement from some long ago time, she is simply showing that she doesn't understand how things work.Make your offer, open title and escrow, and I'm sure the whole transaction will go smoothly.A title report will reveal anything of concern and a report is usually $50 to $100.

You shouldn't be spending it, gambling it, or investing it.
