if this was their first time living together it might be a bit more of a gamble.

Obviously we know about the gambling industry, but what about entertainment companies or tourism?

I understand why you did it, but from an investment standpoint, it doesn't make any sense.I don't know your market, but gambling that the property value will increase faster than what you bleed every month is highly speculative and very dangerous unless you have a LOT of disposable income that you don't mind disposing of if your gamble doesn't pay off.Check your lease, can you break it if the property is sold?  

So what is your risk tolerance and what are the consequences of taking the gamble down the road?

@Nick Rose  Unfortunately, your plan has way too many open ended steps, and uncontrolled risk factors, to make it feasible at all.On the brighter side, you do have everything you need to move forward with your timeline...probably even much faster than you think (and hope).  

The gamble there is that the judge will tell me that they pre-paid it, therefore I'm responsible.

It's a gamble, but all signs point to this being an expanding market in the coming years.

Only being prepared for the best possible outcome is not investing its gambling. 

These builders are gambling that they can find someone to believe that their retail price is actually a wholesale price, but that is no reason to recommend that Matthew Brill become a gambler too.Oh, I just saw the above post from Jay.

It's definitely a gamble.
