WE will be traveling to the UK at the end of March and will love to meet up with investors there and learn  about the investing opportunities in the UK.

., I am not going to gamble on them.

Here are some aspects to consider in a market analysis for Cincinnati:Economy:Cincinnati has a diversified economy with strengths in sectors such as manufacturing, healthcare, finance, and technology.Major companies, including Procter & Gamble, Kroger, and Fifth Third Bank, have headquarters in the region, contributing significantly to the local economy.Real Estate:The real estate market in Cincinnati can vary by neighborhood.

Its definetaly a gamble unless you have personal info on the owners, deceased, no heirs, in prison, etc. 

For example - the seller can use it for their due diligence fee, pay off a credit card, pay off a medical bill, gamble, buy a bathtub full of gold, etc. the moment they receive it (normally the day after the offer is accepted).

So, I live in the UK, my rental property and the PMC is in Buffalo NYS. 

Either way is a gamble but if they are a legitimate business you may have a chance at 25-50 cents on the dollar or more and that's a better return than zero.

I gambled what I could afford to lose, just I don't like losing.

Gambling on yourself in REI by liquidating your retirement without first having any experience, is very bad advice, imo. 

So I don't gamble on it.
