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.

And we have the cash to ignite the process and know a lot about remodeling.

I then took the key off my key ring, put in the ignition of the old mower and said, "here, tell them they don't even have to come talk to me.  

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.

A fire ignited at the warehouse, killing 36 people.

This sounds a lot like gambling?

It does not appear to much of a gamble.
