Unless the deal that you are getting is worth it the gamble. 

I'm nowhere near my first deal yet, I'm just trying to get educated and informed so I don't make costly mistakes.I'm looking to connect with other UK based property investors to discuss strategies and share contacts and practices.

USA (35+ years) and the UK (25+ years).

Happy to have a chat in person, by Zoom (from the UK) or on the phone.

However, I am not 100 percent sure this would be consistent income so it's kind of a gamble.

Should I wait and gamble that they won’t sell so I can do a conventional loan to buy both? 

Thanks for sharing your house hack experience, I did it whilst living in the UK, I believe we should all do it at least once, to gain a bit more experience of land lording and managing tenants.Good luck!

I'm currently living in the UK, and its advised to purchase REI investments as interest only. 

I see it as more of a gamble than an investment.  

Should you decide to gamble on your crystal ball and you manage to achieve 100% occupancy with an average rent of $735 a unit, that puts your GRI @ $52,920.
