Otherwise, you are just gambling that the bank will not call the loan if/when they discover you have left the property (which probably states it will be owner occupied in your loan, if it's a primary) and are no longer making payments. 

Great dialogue - we don't get too many lively discussions for the Huntsville area threads - ha ha.So I see a lot of posts in favor of Hazel Green - everyone has their own REI strategy, which is what makes REI a unique adventure for each of us.  

If one has to take care of other family members, then that adds another level of stress and complexity.If someone is on their own and wants to gamble, sure, some will take a shot.

You'd be better off just investing in one of the many note funds rather than straight-up gambling for a couple hundred extra bps. 

The 350k will earn 15-20k/yr recouping a good portion of the gambled amount. if that works out do it again.

If you're OK with a gamble for higher % gains, that's what we have done with a big chunk of our cash.

I'd probably have better odds going to a casino and gambling.

Study your market and your competition and try to do as well or even better.I hope this helps and wish you the best in this exciting adventure.

I am Mike Mattingly and together with my wife Sharon, are looking at beginning the adventure of real estate investing.

My goals are to get my RE license and put in 10 offers to BRRRR and begin the cash-flow adventure.
