Mike thank you for the reply, the gamble is whether the 60K houses would drop significantly which I believe not. 

Looking forward to equity is one thing, but anticipating appreciation is tantamount to gambling.

Up and coming can be a gamble and could mean different things.

Those mortgages are packaged up and gambled against on Wall Street, where our mutual funds from our retirement accounts are making their money. 

I like the huge tax advantages and passive income, BUT, even though you are drilling in areas where oil has been found it still seems like a huge gamble to come up with nothing.

That I could quantify the value of paying a little more early in the gentrification stages, that property went up in value over 100K the first 18 months of possession.What's going on in this area of Indy I can't seem to quantify it other than some people are buying $40k - $80K properties, tearing them down and building new, some are doing gut rehabs with a change in floor plans, and some are buying the $60k-$90k property putting $30k into it and renting it out in hopes of the spike.When I see the land for these lots are valued at $4,000 - $6,000 depending on lot size, that's a big gamble to teardown and scale that $40k - $80k property purchase to the $250k - $300k properties that are being sold on some of these deals.

I also just now learned you can get banned from the invite system for "spamming" sending connection invites to people replying to your own thread. 

@Ryan Rush This business is full of gamble's and risks, it goes with the job... but I would never get so deep that I would put my family at risk..

If you send to many email correspondence to people that don't want them then they'll mark you as SPAM.

We spend more time on personalizing and no time spamming.
