Hey BP quick question...I own a 2014 lexus IS250 f sport.

But of course that’s the gamble. 

If I want to gamble I go to the casino.

I'm utilizing both of those stock options and feel it is in line with my "gamble" on the company as a whole, if all goes well and they grow and show a profit, it will have been a great investment. 

I think I have got enough knowledge and capital to buy my first SFH or duplex rental property, but my wife thinks buying rental properties is gambling.

That is exactly what I see, buying condos from a wholeseller seems like a real gamble.

Investors Wanted To Believe though.....I saw people pay $50k Over the HOA judgments on that gamble......a nice surprise for the homeowner who hadn’t paid his mtg for 6 years......not so good for the buyers.

The whole area here is planned around outdoor recreation, with winter and summer sports everywhere.

For me anyone with a fico below 560 is probably a life long deadbeat, and anyone with no credit file, probably is also a dead beat, but they could have no credit for many reasons other than their lack of credit worthiness, so I assign 25 gamble points to the no credit renter and treat them as equivalent to a 585 fico.

Not having professional sports is a drawback but that does not matter to many people and the trade offs are worth it for me.Feel free to reply with any feedback or thoughts on the article, demographic trends, and whether or not they have influenced your investing.
