Not something to gamble on, but it's possible.Enter Opendoor.

So... there's a gamble here for sure.

It's a little bit of a roll of the dice (the $1000 to get it on) but real estate involves calculated gambles sometimes.

That way if you buyer performs you will get top dollar between the first sale and the renewal, without the investor having to gamble on an unseasoned loan.

One thing that I wish I knew before I started investing is that buying large multifamily properties is a Team Sport!

I would say buying to break even initially is better than pissing the money away gambling or going to the bar though for sure.  

It might come back next season but its a gamble.

You would be the one that eventually be taking the risk of trying to sell the property @ that appraised price or higher later.If the property appraises for less than you paid you could pay him off now, betting that it will appreciate in the future or the value could go down.Either way it's a gamble.  

Plus with Table Rock lake it offers water sports as well.

It's like going to the casino.You play 3 hands, and you may come ahead, but if you gamble all night, the house ALWAYS wins.The larger your sample audience,  the end result will always normalize to one constant.
