Authenticity goes a long way in a crowded market.

It is a bit of a gamble, but personally, I always get my own bids from people I will hire and either take a credit on price or have title issue the checks directly to those contractors to get work done as soon as I close.  

I expose myself to other stuff for the sake of a natural curiosity and to gamble a little.  

When we moved in I took pictures of areas of the house that I thought were poorly maintained or not in the expected state, the pictures are in my phone and have a date and timestamp for authenticity of when they were taken.

So the more authentic the content, the better.

I feel like these large luxury buildings are a gamble in many ways.

Its a gamble, and the quality of these types of things vary, so we'll see.

I've attached screen shot of said email also for proof of authenticity. 

Way too much gambling/luck aspect to it and even when you win for the year the tax rate is awful compared to long term gains. 

If I wanted to do high stakes gambling I would go to Vegas and get free drinks not pay so gurus to blow smoke.
