My opinion is its a gamble.

If you have to go so fast you do not have time to do proper due diligence, you need to pass on this.You are gambling a lot with your money.  

If you're going to flip houses, you're gambling and you're playing with high stakes.

Guess if you have nothing to lose, there ain't no sense not to take a gamble.

Sure beats parking your money in a savings account making .02 percent or gambling on stocks atleast in my opinion

I got a civil engineering firm that can survey and apply for subdivision for 10-15k but I have no idea how likely that gamble is to succeed so I can't really calculate ROI.

I know the deficit is insanely astronomical, stock market is a gamble and the housing market is slowing, but what is the best way to get a foggy but somewhat clear picture of what is going on?

Criminal Code of 1961; Gambling F.

The HOA decides to raise dues, the rental cap is met, a special assessment gets slapped on your association and BAMN your cash flow just went out the window.Condos are, in my mind, a gamble, your investment is at the mercy of others decisions and often those other peoples interests aren't in line with mine. 

Insurance is just a gamble.
