Then it's the gamble of did you get a added 15, 20 or the coveted 30% off added coupon??????

It could appreciate but I consider that gambling.

So now, at this point, you are pretty much gambling on your flip if you use anything else except SW.

It is much less costly to pay an occupant (only upon final walkthrough and approval on move-out day) to leave rather than gamble on the exit condition.

It feels like gambling...I want to invest in something I understand and have at least some control over.

So a premunium maybe worthwhile if  the home is in places like this. do research mroe indepth to the area itself and you will have a better understanding of gambling in Atlanta markets :)

While I don't like being in a position where I'm increasing rent too much and may create turnover, I feel like I'm taking a gamble assuming the excessive bills were all created by the leaks.

I'm a bit weary of choosing a property that already has a tenant in place (section 8 tenant or not), because it always feels like a bit of a gamble.

It shocked me that instead of saying "I don’t know about investing and I want to learn about it" they said "Real Estate won't work since the mortgages are crazy high so profits are not possible and the Stock Market is just a gamble".

I am fine if anyone wants to speculate on appreciation, but buying a property with a negative cash flow (that loses money) in hopes of future appreciation is nothing more than gambling.
