Like any non passive investment, I wouldn’t do it if there is no personal thrill for you.Seasonality.

Otherwise, it sounds more like gambling than investing.

We're thrilled to have you join BiggerPockets! 

The fastest way, which may be a gamble, is to buy and flip.

As previous investor who acquired multiple investment properties through New Western prior to joining the brokerage & now acquiring for the company as a licensed realtor, I am thrilled to connect with other realtors & investors here on Bigger Pockets as myself.Off course if you’re looking to sell off any of your real estate investments or buy, I’m here to assist however I can!

Buying for appreciation is also a terrible gamble especially when we just passed the peak of the market.PASS on this "deal" it is no deal at all. 

For the investor deal flow side, I've tried most of them and haven't found one that I am thrilled about.

And just because it is not cash flow does not mean it is gambling or any more or less valid or profitable. 

Downtown now has a large gathering area with an ice skating rink, a gambling casino, condos galore, shopping plazas and restaurants all around the Rock-n-Roll Hall of Fame, and even the flats now has a new design.

Honestly, RE investing wasn't something I was looking to get into within the next decade, but due to circumstances that possibility is on the table with this property.I'm not thrilled about the idea of being a landlord, especially a long distance one...but I'm not 100% against it.
