I'm not much of a gambler!

Getting to attached can turn an investor into a gambler.   

I think of these other coins as penny stocks and as I am a gambler I bought them as a gamble and if I sold today would be what.....a 2000% return not bad lol when bitcoin hit 2k this year I started watching again.

But it feels a lot like gambling to me, and I'm a terrible gambler. :)I hope you'll take this in the spirit intended, but it sounds like you are trying to keep all your options open.

I'm not that big of a gambler myself.  

A good gambler only bets when the upside potential outweighs the risk.

I prefer SFRs with no HOA too ... higher buy in cost, but generally better appreciation & tenant class, more control, more "value add" possibilities (try doing an addition on a condo :)), and no unpredictable HOA fees or assessments to eat into my cash flow.So, though some think that all that buy RE in CA for appreciation are crazy gamblers, and many in fact are, I myself am incredibly conservative, because of my multiple exit strategies believe that what I am doing is NOT gambling, and have the consistent long term track record of profits (in BOTH appreciation AND long term cash flow) to back it up.

So bottom line is don't invest in California unless you are a gambler and/or stupid.  

Are you an investor or gambler in real estate?
