I want to make sure you thoroughly understand this piece since you are going it alone.The Fair Housing Act prohibits discrimination against prospective tenants and current tenants on the basis of the following characteristics or "protected classes": race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability, and familial status.

Gambling?  

Unless you're willing to gamble on anything you might find later, I'd run away.And I don't think it's odd to want a place inspected, even if you haven't seen it.  

Or if you are willing to gamble that investment money in the hands of strangers.I wouldn't be.You may think I'm just a negative person.  

I would suggest looking for a PM that has those kinds of characteristics and behaviors.

lately i been thinking of taking a gamble on a house in a area i wouldn't be instrested in  under other circumstances but these houses are so cheap  its a give me . is section 8 good in any area?

At the end of the day, people are unpredictable and leasing anything to anyone is a little bit of a gamble.

People who earn their living from gambling, for instance, tend to spend a little differently that people receiving child support, alimony, social security, etc.  

If you are not making cash flow you are gambling on tomorrow instead of investing in today.

Or go to the local casinos, if you just want to gamble your money away.Think.
