It is a bit of a gamble. 

I haven't done foundation work, but figured it's worth the gamble on this property. 

https://www.netflix.com/title/80224279Did you know that squatting in a commercial property isn't a crime in the UK? 

I gambled on the water restricting supply.

Louis, UK, Jamaica.

It is gambling.

It is not to say section 8 is bad, it is just to big of a gamble for our system We have a very strict screening and placement policy, obviously all within the equal housing parameters.  

But predicting what part of the city will transition from high crime with large levels of abandoned houses to a great area to live is more of a gambling game.  

There is definitely a real effect, albeit short term, look at the fx rates and the banks over there will have some pains transacting business (borrowing, lending, leveraging debt, etc)Is there a BP UK version, overseas money buying properties there now?

I don't know enough about this, and it sounds like a gamble to me.Use equity in my existing home to invest in a rental property (but this sounds like a scheme where I would take a HELOC for a down payment on an investment, to be able to take out MORE debt, meaning I have to rent or sell the investment property for even MORE money to cover increased debt costs).So, are any of these options better than the others?
