Everything is a gamble.

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.

I'm thrilled to announce I'm in the process of starting up BC's first non-accredited crowdfunding real estate redevelopment campaign.

He's got the education, experience and success to back it up, but, bad part is, he teaches straight up like a college teacher, he doesn't thrill me with stories of how to make a million in 90 days, that's what I'm really looking, I wouldn't care if it took 6 months....or even all year!

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.

As well as if you buy anything via an FHA loan you need to live there for a year.So nothing all that special there with a HUD house.Generally though with the idea of buying a place, living in it while fixing it and then selling it for a profit you should keep a few things in mind.1) A year, or more, is a long time and the market can change so there is a gamble.  

As a last note, holding out for appreciation is akin to gambling, but I think you are right and was saying over a year ago that Augusta was undervalued.

This is a very analytical role which also requires using Excel and Tableau to translate my findings into visualizations and graphics for line of business heads and upper management.I'd be so thrilled if someone could expose me to a position I'm not aware of that could blend my skill set with my passions and give me an opportunity to further my knowledge in the subject matter. 

If I ever run into private money I will do my best to make that work but private money seems very hard to find, but hard money on the other hand seems like a big gamble especially with my lack of experience investing.
