So we had to take a gamble and accept the house without knowing if the furnace worked.

It’s not worth the gamble.

But it does seem like we have some profit potential after our 3 years slow reno gamble (@ 4% growth w/ the more conservative $640,000 ARV). 

I've not registered my details to gain new information for a few years and i'm interested in seeing some fresh marketing.I've been through my inbox investment folder  (aka spam folder) for properties and investments and noticed I'm getting a lot less sent than I was a decade ago.

It does however seem like quite the gamble. 

I post on Craigslist, Nextdoor, my work classifieds section, my college alumni classifieds, and sometimes facebook marketplace (but I get more spam and weirdos through that).

If all goes to **** then its a 5k gamble and its not that big of a deal  

I think people are taking a gamble that it will be extended.

Sure it is a gamble as prices may continue to go up, but I would want to get out before a crash happens.

@Tyler Rowley I was browsing through my "Promotions" tab in my email today and saw that I got the attached email a few weeks ago; I guess the only reason it went to Promotions instead of Spam is that it had all the right real estate words and acronyms 😀I blacked out the company name, phone and website because I'm not promoting or recommending this particular company (especially since I have no idea who they are, i.e., they essentially did spam me).But I wanted to show you an example of the kind of company I was talking about - a niche lender catering to real estate professionals, especially professional rehabbers/flippers, that's willing to do high LTV loans in some cases - so you'll know they really are out there in case you want to search for similar companies in the future.
