Otherwise it seems more like gambling than investing and I am not a gambler.

Luckily I'm not dumb or a gambler who'll risk committing a Felony just to get a property so I was ok when the woman showed up at my property.

If I'm a gambler I would say that's a high risk.

Overpriced properties are always going to be a bad investment for cash flow.If on the other hand your speculating on appreciation that is a entirely different animal best left to high rollers and gamblers..  

I have to admit that I am the conservative type, not much of a gambler, so I always make sure to know that there is a clear tunnel at the end before jumping into any situation.

I’m a gambler at heart :).

There are a lot of gamblers and high-risk investors that would lowball the price and then price for a worst case scenario for the interior of a certain square footage and planned use.

The stock market is a gamble. RE

Im a gambler who likes leverage so Id pretend I didn't have the cash and try to put together some seller financed deals and learn how to buy with using as little cash as possible.

My thinking is to get financing established through a HELOC so that’s ready to go and I’m not a much of a gambler so I’m not looking to invest in cash flow neutral or negative properties and hoping for appreciation.
