Banking on appreciation is gambling.

Live in chicago (Bucktown) for 7 year, from Uk originally.

My name is Jonas, I'm 19 years old and coming from Denmark.Next year when I'm done with college here in Denmark, I am taking the leap to the UK. (...

That said, I am only talking about UK regulated sites (available across the EU).As someone who is not familiar with the USA choices, I am finding the regulatory differences very interesting.

Some folks are willing to take the risk in the gamble for appreciation, especially here in CA, they are typically purchasing when the market is down, not high as it is now.

The way to make it less annoying is to gamble (like a dollar) with your family for which property the wholesaler wants before opening the mail.

It is not gambling per se, there are real wells with real chances of finding oil, but it is not another class B multifamily value play for sure.   

You are looking at a extreamly high risk gamble regardless of your past experience.

My situation unfortunately disqualifies me for a conventional loan at the moment, as I only have 1 year of work history/tax returns in the US.I was previously employed in the UK, however due to a 1 year gap in employment history (whilst I was going through the immigration process and was legally not allowed to work) my lender has told me they will not be able to complete the loan.This leads me to commercial loans!
