I have many friends that play the stock market and are very successful.

On the surface, I would consider house hacking here and play the appreciation game.

I feel like I'm folding a pair of pocket aces, but I have to play the game with discipline, or you lose your stake.

It's very hard to play the game of real estate without it, and I'd encourage all new investors to work hard to maximize their income upside, and work hard to get into a stable position before obliterating your DTI on a capex nightmare.

Like learning to play the guitar, get one in your hands and get some good lessons, see if its for you.

Explain that while you understand kids need to play, the scooter riding inside the apartment is causing excessive noise and could potentially damage the floors.

Never sell anything, just play the long game. 

This is no time to play the nice guy.....You can also contact your City Council Person and your County Supervisor.

If you day-trade or read the tea leaves for hot stock tips or play the ponies or simply put your money in index funds, do any of these things occupy your interest like real estate?

You can always just "play the lottery" and see if you get anything matched to your home.
