@Evan Tan, I do believe gambling winnings are taxable and paying income tax on it would give you documentable income which you need to get financing. https://www.irs.gov/taxtopics/tc419

Gamble and play the odds in Vegas, but not in business.

We got lucky (ugly house in the perfect neighborhood) and took a big gamble on a courthouse steps auction. 

Insurance is a lot like gambling: the house always wins.They entice you to pay extra by promising to cover the full cost, minus deductible.

**************/mvc/auction/810929So buying it is a gamble that the owner never pays it off and you could foreclosure on the house.However if owner pays it off then you would loose everything over the $85 you pay?

However, if he is giving you a discounted fee for his labor and is willing to gamble on a percentage of the "profit" instead then that would be okay - but you may have to dig in your pocket to pay that percentage at the back end. 

Not having more info I would gamble that your price needs adjusting .  

I looked in spam and no login so I went to the site and used the forgot password button to be able to log in.

Not interested in gambling and holding onto this for a few years.

Appraently they are considered low risk for lenders and I would think in my situation they would feel pretty darn comfortable that I'm going to be a good gamble.
