That's a gamble.

The client was willing to gamble on furnishing for STR over LTR route and we were good for 3.5 years, then one day the man came and shut it down. 

I'm not saying you can't make a decent return on rentals - I and many others here have done great with it - but if you have a well-functioning, profitable business that you know, why would you gamble money into Memphis *******es, to put it bluntly? 

At that point things are more of a gamble. 

They cannot arbitrarily make wild gambles because they feel like it - they have to operate within established risk parameters that are approved by several regulatory bodies and internal controls.

At any rate it is possible, but depending on your appraisal it could be a gamble

It’s just a gamble.  

Because they are gambling.11. 

After 45 years investing across many asset classes, many investment types, and everything from lowest risk to outright gambles, I think I finally know the answer.The biggest divide is between investments in which operational control over that investment is with the investor, and investments in which control rests with another party.  

There is a gamble there that the second appraisal comes in at or below the first.
