It could appreciate but I consider that gambling.

Otherwise it seems more like gambling than investing and I am not a gambler.

The income route, to me, still gambles that the rent will increase as fast or faster than expenses. 

Like everyone mentioned, betting strictly on appreciation is a gamble. 

Hello, I have my first property and plan to add 2-6 properties this year and additional each year....I have started using RentRedi and I am finding it a bit clunky and also dislike the spam they toss at anyone who creates an account (which starts at prequalifying).

. $3000 to $10000 houses are probably in the part that never will, but maybe it will it's a gamble. 

I’m especially curious because a few rentals were picked up by investors in my area at well over 25% above last year’s comps and I can’t help but wonder if they’re gambling on near term rent increases....or if they’ve just overlevered their way into non performing assets because of fomo.  

I think taking the risk and riding the AirBnB wave it's hot is probably worth the gamble..

I have sat down and applied to 8 different lenders, filling out my own 1003, and enjoying my ice coffee while I type away.5) Keep track of who you contacted, and check your spam email.
