Are you willing to gamble 72 large without an inspection, title insurance and spouse's signoff all under a countdown?  

;)  I do have part of my current 401K invested in an ETF that is tied to the NASDAQ so that is my form of "gambling".   

Of course in any market appreciation is a gamble.- Be aware of management costs.

I'm new to these forums and hoped to ask my first question - for those that have already reached their goals of financial independence, or are are getting close and making plans, I'm curious to hear where you have chosen to live and locate your primary residence or where you're eyeing to do so? 

Not sure where your located but its a gamble to rent and wait.. its only 6k negative a year that's not bad.But if having that debt precludes you from other investments then sometimes its best to cut and run..

Any investment is a gamble - not as risky as the craps table, but never guaranteed - and you shouldn't be gambling with your future.

Feels like a gamble with the appraisal.

Hi Martin,All these questions are going to depend on your chosen bank or credit union.

It's a gamble to sign up for those tasks for sure unless you really want to learn and get your hands dirty.

Gamble on Magic Johnson coming in and the area appreciating.
