I agree with Rob...it's like gambling....you do what the precentages suggest...but you're always hoping for the one last thing to happen that will make you a winner.

They view options as "gambling"...really??

Not saying Ben may get lucky and find a DMV worker who knows their stuff but if I was a gambling man, I would not count on it.Bed I would ask around and search your DMV website or office for this: "Loss Of Interest Affidavit."

Currently, I am maximizing my success by focusing offshore.

but I guess that's part of the gamble.

I know you're not supposed to gamble on future appreciation, but there are barely any houses available in this price range, the location could not be much better, and the yard is fenced and large.

lol, it's a gamble and I'm very nervous about how it will turn out for me.

Hi @Gary Parker Regardless of how you buy, if you sell on terms as an Investor, and you have a due on sale clause with an existing commercial loan, you will have that to gamble with.

Meanwhile my BIL in AZ ( a retired M.D. ) in poor health has already established offshore accommodation with great medical & pharma coverage..

Flipping is a gamble.
