Would that be investing or more like gambling? 

SBA won't loan on the gambling income, or anything passive- your bottom needs to be in the gas station chair.SBA loan now takes LONG processing time unless you go direct.

Also claimed all the broken furniture was provided and not theirs so I got to take it all out.Occupied is a roll of the dice, a gamble you can not control.

One thing I didn't see mentioned is making sure the number/dialer you're calling from is being marked as spam/spam likely or outright blocked by the carriers.

There so many answers here I'll just drop this thought you can think about.....It all depends on how hard you want to gamble when that large insurance claim finally does happen.Lastly, you want Waivo for small damage claims not your homeowner's insurance.

@Kiersten Vogt there is 0 chance I would gamble with what around here is a $35-40k issue.

I was curious what you do when someone spams your online google reviews with negative comments? 

A GOOD contact rate is 5-10% nowadays (dial 10 numbers and one picks up) if you can keep your phone number from showing up as spam.2) Most people are gonna say no.

I don't gamble in the stock market.Isn't part of it, that you can create generational wealth by investing outside of a 401(k) into real estate and pass those houses down tax free to the next generation using the stepped up basis?

CARS do NOT break down.. unless your driving a SPAM can junker.. count your blessings and move on to a real lender if you actually need one at this point Pay nothing up front other than appraisal to a company whose cars work.
