It seems to me that a lot of people look at seconds like lottery tickets with the attitude that it's a cheap investment.  

Of course you start winning lottery type money if appreciation is more like 4% or 12% per year. 

West side has lotteries meaning when it out it is quickly gone same week.

One thing my mentor does is give a $1 lottery ticket to each of his tenants that are current and on time with their rent each and every month.

You have a better shot of winning the lottery and building the largest shelter in the universe than relying on the federal government to fix homelessness.Taxes are low in my area and the city, county, and residents have a ton of outreach to the homeless. 

Would you also complain about winning the lottery, just because you have to pay taxes on your winnings?.

I am not looking for the get rich quick schemes because unless you hit the lottery I believe that there is no such thing.

If you can do the BRRR strategy and have some decent cash flow (say 150 to 200/mo net profit after estimated repairs), then you can grow a reasonably large portfolio with surprisingly little capital and generate some generational type wealth that no other investment vehicle can offer (outside of the lottery maybe). :-)Example.

We can accomplish anything we want if we take massive action.One of my favorite stories on action is the story of a priest that prayed every night for ten years to win the lottery.

Finding a good PM is like winning the lottery.
