I gambled on the water restricting supply.

It is not to say section 8 is bad, it is just to big of a gamble for our system We have a very strict screening and placement policy, obviously all within the equal housing parameters.  

But predicting what part of the city will transition from high crime with large levels of abandoned houses to a great area to live is more of a gambling game.  

I don't know enough about this, and it sounds like a gamble to me.Use equity in my existing home to invest in a rental property (but this sounds like a scheme where I would take a HELOC for a down payment on an investment, to be able to take out MORE debt, meaning I have to rent or sell the investment property for even MORE money to cover increased debt costs).So, are any of these options better than the others?  

I haven't done foundation work, but figured it's worth the gamble on this property. 

It is a bit of a gamble. 

NOT the asset.. owning the asset and living off shore is not a good play in my mind..

Is it a little more of a gamble?

It’s all a gamble no matter how you look at it, crazy times....

That same freedom allows for positive as well as negative things (think internet gambling and the child porn and the malware and scammers).
