Buying those kinds of properties is almost like gambling.

I have never been involved with such an elaborate scam unfortunately I pulled the short straw on the investor gamble. 

Don’t get me wrong, I like your idea, heck I’m interested if you find another deal or a small multi, but right now it seems far from a partnership and more of a one sided gamble.

Please do a web search of “Capella Mortgage Fraud” as investors are posting about potentially fraudulent deals Capella originated.

So It's gonna be a gamble if I decide to sign for a new one year and let sec 8 decide what the rent should be.In this case the tenant pays only $55 per month.

I view investing for appreciation (with negative monthly cash flow) as gambling.

Its a gamble in my opinion.

I'm out of state so it was kind of a gamble for me to hire them, but they've been great.
