I assume as well that the less you do yourself and can rely on a company to do that for you the more money you give to those agents...Any way, there are things I am comfortable with doing myself, insurance, legal and tax, but contracts are a gamble wherever you are haha. 

You are doing a gamble play that value add and rent increases will eventually get the asset cash flowing.If it doesn't you just are trapped in a tax write off property.Some investors love speculating but I am not one of them.

It’s a gamble.

(drugs, alcohol, gambling, church).

Dumbest comment I've ever read on BP.Investing is about building wealth / income, not gambling.

The high end being $1100 puts a better light on it with the same finances but that's a gamble to think it would garner that much.

Harry Gamble Based on your experience as an attorney how do the security deposit laws work in your area?

If you have a history of gambling problems and not paying your bills, the "asset based lender" still isn't going to give you their money.

To me, that is not an investment, but a gamble.

It is basically gambling on trends.
