Investing is not gambling.  

I am excited to take on this new adventure and learn from you all!

Best of luck on your adventure!

I'm happy to start this new adventure in my life.

I have a degree in Civil Engineering from Rose Hulman and look forward to new adventures.  

There is a massive amount of other things that I have in mind that are all connected to this real estate investing adventure, but for now I need a flow of income to get the first steps started.

Yeah, I guess it's all part of where you are in your RE adventure.

Let me be real clear that this property was so unique that it would be a gamble as a flip, so it only made sense if we were going to either a) live in it or b) rent it or c) do both, live in and rent it.

I look forward to meeting some new people, making some new friends and taking my real estate adventures to a whole new level. 

Only the most desperate renters would probably agree to live there so the price of the property would have to be dirt cheap and cost you as little money as possible in the rehab to make it worth the effort.Your gambling that the surrounding area will be gentrified in the next few years and increase the property values.If this was in Southern California I would say yes absolutely but,the ATL may be a little harder to wait for unless the population booms there in the next 5 years.
