I would feel trapped in  my home (cash poor) and feel like I was gambling on appreciation but I am a chicken by nature .

It is always a gamble you take on any offer you accept.BUT -- to reduce your chances of the buyer not qualifying for a loan, ask to have the buyer cross-qualified by a lender you know, like and trust.

It's a gamble as some can be damaged but it's usually a good deal.2.

In these cases, the specific sector was over-inflated and collapsed as faulty - maybe even fraudulent financial vehicles and/or practices were introduced to suck even more money out of the sector as it heated up.Just because the dot com sector eventually swallowed reality and fixed its fundamentals on value products/services, the energy sector resolved in the courts, and the housing sector flushed out its overly speculative practices (many of which were really bank-driven, primarily as loans issued to folks who had no business buying housing - and toxic mortgage packages created with weird names and no vehicle history to attract investments thus made with no due diligence and no 3rd party oversight - which took unprecedented government intervention and bailout across many sectors to fix), doesn't mean that the next sector downturn trigger doesn't lurk out there.What some call creativity or innovation is really just greed masked in packages so new and weird that due diligence is nearly impossible.  

However, if it will stretch and stress you to the MAX, it is not worth gambling on future appreciation as I am sure you would make a nice profit selling now.....that's my two cents.

TWO EXIT STRATEGIES… proven strategies… or you’re not a professional investor… you’re just gambling with your family’s money.Almost ALL of the “ deals” I have been pitched in my region of Florida are built to assure that the wholesale gets rich… period. 

If you have say %50 to put down I think it would be worth the gamble.

Gambling/poker sites can easily be rigged for the users unless the code is published on a blockchain I would not trust it.

If that was me, I won't be gambling my money and time for "potential" profit, if I could channel it elsewhere that I know when the guaranteed return will be then take that capital plus profit and roll it to a more larger project.

However, I did not research anything else and took a huge gamble.
