I've heard many veteran investors now discounting them even further now to hedge for any possible changes that may come from city hall to elevate the houses X ft.With some of these houses, it's too much of a gamble to invest into them when you don't know what type of regulations the city will lay down in the near future.Unless you're buying at a deep discount, it's a bit too risky.

Or is this spam...

A mass messaging to bunch of members may well be spamming. 

Everything is a gamble.

those dumbos thought making you verify a phone number would stop the robot spamming. how can a big business like that be that stupid?

I wonder if anyone could spam me with a name or two - of the real estate attorneys with whom you worked in the past (or maybe still working)?

Why gamble with your money?

Here is why:1) every month I'm paying down my debt using my cash flow and can pay extra towards my debt and still make more money vs waiting for future appreciation2) rents in my area have gone up for 80 years now3) my rental income is subsidized by HUD so your tenants over time will not pay consistently when they lose their Job, get disgruntled, have a bad day lol4) the rental income I get is 2x more per dollar invested therefore I more than compensate for higher appreciation but I have advantage of 1 to 3 aboveSummary my IRR is guaranteed you are gambling on both your tenant and local market.

s, it's a fairly upscale house and yes, in this national market, that is a considerable degree of "speculation" (read: gambling).Unless you know it's a hot up-scale area, I'd opt for something more mainstream which caters to a much larger potential market.

If you do however get a website you do want to tailor it to you I think because you don't want to appear like a spam site or one of those cheesy sites you see on Craiglist.
