It also would be a weird letter to send to a lot of the duplexes here in town, because most of them are in subdivisions full of identical properties.At this point I think it's basically gambling unless you're committed to mailing the same addresses 8-10 times minimum over the course of several months.

However, in this crazy Dallas market I think it is more of a gamble; since nothing cash flows, I would be banking on the property appreciating vs bringing in passive income.

@Wendy DetersI wouldn’t gamble your retirement on flipping.

If you do sell, the most passive alternative out there is buying index funds (although I'm not thrilled to buy at these levels honestly). 

@Russell Brazil I'm actually fine (but not thrilled) with $1500 if that's what it takes.

I’m even willing to make the payments under the gamble of never getting it refunded, if I can get proper documentation. 

Also my first 3 reviews on VRBO were posted today, every guest booking via VRBO posted a review so far.. and I'm thrilled with their feedback as well as seeing that they are enjoying their stays as much as I'm enjoying hosting.

My buyers were thrilled to finally find something that was producing income and in great condition.

Investor was super thrilled to get this one wrapped up and on to the next.

I dont gamble when it comes to my wealth.
