It's also the reason that investing in rentals does not make financial sense in Seattle unless gambling on appreciation.Lubbock seems to look worse every time I visit because there are few incentives to fix up older properties.

Listen to @Gino Barbaro He and his partner have consistently demonstrated they know how to buy multifamily properties at one "grade" - improve both the properties and tenants - then refinance "profitably" You should reach out to @Sarah Gamble who is also active in Ft City

However, I see more listings with price drops lately as flippers investing in suspect areas are not winning that gamble.

Of course, if you are so wealthy that shelling out cash each and every month on a property doesn't bother you then go ahead and gamble with the appreciation game but realize its nothing more than chance whether or not the property will appreciate in the short term.

It's not impossible to do this but it would be like a very high form of gambling.

I am willing ot gamble that no left field event can possibly occur in the future that would change my situation enough that I might need to sell.Just on those 2 it's speculative and high risk investing, again IMHO.

That is a great way to start learning.Secondly, if you don’t know what you are doing in real estate, it is kind of like gambling and your returns will likely be low or you may even lose money.One of the biggest benefits that the content that BiggerPockets has to offer is it teaches people how to identify good deals or properties where equity can be created in a relatively quick timeframe.

if they are going to seem to be able to delay an eviction for 4-5 months then its worth a gamble under the right circumstances.

In addition, the owner of the home must not own more than three single-family homes.3) They are unable to provide sufficient documentation, such as the emotional support animal letter, that verifies the ESA is necessary for their health and well-being.4) The tenant provides fraudulent documentation attesting to their need for an emotional support animal (usually a fake emotional support animal letter).5) The landlord can demonstrate that making accommodations for an ESA would impose undue financial burden or logistical burden. 6) The animal is destructive to the property or displays threatening behaviors that could put other tenants or yourself at risk.7) The size or nature of the animal makes it impossible to house safely or humanely. 

I believe by networking with local investors, listening to podcasts and taking advantage of the tons of information on bigger pockets you would be better off then taking a gamble on a coach.
