I recently started getting “newsletters” and “support our sponsors” emails from Bigger Pockets.No matter how many times I click unsubscribe, or reply and say unsubscribe I keep getting them.

If I wanted to gamble I would take my money to the stock market.

In my opinion, you are gambling, with your Financial Future and Well Being as well as everything you have worked, to create.

Surely, any investment must fit one's plan, and risks can be logically evaluated, but a certain profit cannot be accurately calculated..it's always a gamble in real estate.

You could look in the 44105 zip code, but it's still a gamble.

I like the gamble because it's hard to imagine rates not dropping over the next few years, at which point we'll see 5 million qualified home buyers per point, driving up demand and prices while you're able to reduce your carrying cost. 

You spammed and trolled my posts than, in a total tirade on how you were so correct, I was such an idiot in my THOUROUGH forecast for a volume collapse, with prices holding in many markets, market specific deviations, and a move UP in prices Q2.     

If you have a lot of cash (millions and millions), you can sometimes gamble by just buying and holding forever.

I use Google Voice for rental-related communications and get a lot of spam there. 

I'm sure there are 1-off examples of success, but that's not the norm.And this isn't to shoot down North Lawndale - there are opportunities to invest in the current market/conditions, but to expect gentrification is a huge gamble.
