:Syndication multi-family investments are riskier and have less upside than gambling in Las Vegas.

this is only a good idea if you have reason to believe that the area will be appreciating quickly, which is called speculation and akin to gambling not investing. me personally, I would rather put my money on black than bank on market appreciation. negative cash flow rentals are a time suck and money suck.

Also, to track spending habits - just had a prospect withdraw their application when we asked why they were spending half their income on gambling websites.

I think it's a gamble for someone 2000 miles away - could do well or badly.  

Maybe I'll get more serious on that but for now it's just too much spam and scam for me to scroll through ha.

Get out some bread and make a spam sandwich.

Without a solid plan, fix & flips would be huge gamble.

The cost of Spam comment made me laugh out loud; luckily that won't be an issue for me but glad to know it is available.I specifically am looking forward to reading about how you chose Teak and what the real estate/business  buying process was like.Thanks again!

We had to work out some metrics for how to vet and when to offload brokers because we would get spammed with trash deals or be competing with five other lenders whom the broker was pitting against one another.

Then the person is soured on gambling on real estate and not around here to answer questions.
