It always seems like the get rich fasr crowd is doomed to moroh into be the get poor fast crowed because they have no calculated gamble defined or endgame deliminated

In L.A there is rent control but I’ve heard of people buying out the tenants , this seems like kind of a gamble but of course if one can say double the rent even if you are paying the tenant a big payment to leave .. say $30k .. then it would be well worth it because the net income of the building would go up . 

I don’t think it should be that hard, besides Real-estate is a gamble no matter what!

OK formally stealing this quote  Love it so true.. its not cash flow is everything and appreciation is icing on the cake or gambling.

I'm thrilled to join this forum and be a part of this amazing community.

I find it difficult because I can only work with clients in the evening, and I sometimes have to rush out of my day job which doesn't thrill my bosses.

In the market I invest in (Chicago), it would be foolish and a gamble to trade a decent property manager (who is very $ reasonable) for some on ne you take a chance with by transferring management in order to achieve greater efficiency.

If I knew it was only 4 months I'd take the gamble, but at this point I am considering selling as leases expire for my SFHs. 

I’m not a huge Dave Ramsey fan, but in this case I’d recommend you don’t gamble- pay down the loans and regain some control.

So I guess my original question should have been more specific in that, Yes, this strategy is a gamble, but the risk to reward in this particular market makes a lot of sense.
