Or if you are willing to gamble that investment money in the hands of strangers.I wouldn't be.You may think I'm just a negative person.  

A dog who immediately starts barking uncontrollably, or desperately pulling at the leash, or running off ignoring both you and the owner is a dog that still needs training and maybe isn't what you want in your home. 

lately i been thinking of taking a gamble on a house in a area i wouldn't be instrested in  under other circumstances but these houses are so cheap  its a give me . is section 8 good in any area?

At the end of the day, people are unpredictable and leasing anything to anyone is a little bit of a gamble.

People who earn their living from gambling, for instance, tend to spend a little differently that people receiving child support, alimony, social security, etc.  

If you are not making cash flow you are gambling on tomorrow instead of investing in today.

Or go to the local casinos, if you just want to gamble your money away.Think.  

Hi @Federico Cantero,If your deal does not cash flow from the very start, what you are doing is speculating (gambling), not investing.

But, they spend a great deal of it gambling at the local casino or on cigarettes or going out to the local bars or restaurants, etc., and they can't afford a car because of it, and are always looking for a handout.Then, there are those like me and many of my neighbors, who don't smoke, or go gambling or go out drinking or to restaurants, and always pay their rent on time, and have savings accounts,  and wouldn't dream of asking for a break.It's not just because a tenant can't afford to - or doesn't want to - own their own home, that a tenant ends up in a position to ask you to put up with them getting behind on rent.  

Their gamble.
