You should not gamble with your families health.

@Joshua Dorkin @Brandon Turner ......spam/crap.

That's amazing, they know what we are talking about....Dave Meyer, I forgot about email, mine is so backed up I gave up trying to delete them, even by the page it's a major pain.Much of that is my fault as I'm on several sites (boating, motorcycle) and somehow everytime someone makes a comment I get notified and couldn't find how to opt out, so I'm bombed with stuff, add the RE and spam and it's a mess.

I would say that buying in a market like this is a huge gamble, but you can't deny that along with skyrocketing purchase prices, rents have also gone through the roof.

@Scott GrimesYes I have a great Maryland attorney but do not want to post his name publicly as some people get spammed.

They seem to have no problem gambling, but putting money on their own investing ability seems to give them all kinds of self doubts.  

You should know better.Let me again show you exactly what DMM is and how it traps you into bankruptcy especially for beginners.Orange line is your potential profits,  and the blue line is the potential Cost/deal.Unless you are sending 10,000 mailers, you are gambling and you know what they say about gambling.

Or, we've even had it happen where we were sending the client back replies but they never saw them because their email was filtering them out as spam for some reason.

Very inspiring thread. and to me the theme is the money is made buying low value add sell high.. and or the dreaded APPRECIATION .. who ever coined APPRECIATION is gambling needs to read this thread.. 

Possible downsides include putting all of our initial investment into a single property, we might not be able to find a property in our price-range, and taking a bit of a gamble on occupancy.2.
