Maybe they're gambling on appreciation? 

But if he came to me with such a plan - essentially gambling with MY retirement - I'd kindly but gently tell him to think of something else.You're asking him to take a HUGE risk on deals you don't even have identified yet - and hope like hell that you can turn 3 deals at $36,000 each in a year.You're just now getting started, so you have NO track record.  

Not to say I do anything fraudulently.

This is conservative, when you're quietly bankrupt you can't afford to gamble with your money, so keep it close and make it count toward the ultimate goal, financial freedom!

Many unqualified person took this gamble and thus due to the exorbitant hedge fund SFH purchases in the greater Tampa Bay Area residential multi-family dwellings were artificially enhanced as well.

Knowledge is power, speculation is gambling!!

I think if we can prove something fraudulent we can collect triple damages...and our attorney is going to work on contingency so there won't be cash out of pocket.

Instead, it's more like love and gambling ... with a circular learning pattern.

If I were a gambling man, I would bet the son already has a record with the courts; and/or multiple unsupported children.

Since I don't gamble, I guess this is how I get my kicks!
