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.

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 :)

In my mind $8k is more money than I'm willing to gamble with and the course felt like too much of a gamble (let's put it this way..

It also seems like there are 6+ month waiting lists to get into modern, resort style apartments around here so tenants may be out of luck if they take a gamble leaving, which i think is playing in us (Landlord's favor) as of now as they don't have as much bargaining power.

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".

How about stock market or Vegas gambling, any language on that?

I think of these other coins as penny stocks and as I am a gambler I bought them as a gamble and if I sold today would be what.....a 2000% return not bad lol when bitcoin hit 2k this year I started watching again.

I have no use for this property and its a bit of a gamble in terms of zoning so I want to invest as little as possible, I just like the rezoneing process as its alot of fun dealing will all the crap that comes up so if I get my zoning Ill make a killing, if I dont Ill just donate the property to my church as I have no use for it.

I squandered my cash in the stock market (to the tune of 250k…) but I've stopped gambling in stocks, and now have a bit built up in my war chest for real estate investing and money from my 401k available for investing.

You'd like a cash-flowing property in an appreciating area or a property where you can force appreciation, but banking on organic appreciation is akin to gambling.
