Completing any project in real estate is always an adventure in its own right!  

We also have some exciting new changes coming to the accountability/masterminding models in the next month.Masterminding is done at every event, local, regional or bucket list adventure for both groups.

It's a gamble.

I'll pay a few thousand more to be safe--and to help keep my tenant families safe, thank you.I have bought warzone properties, but I quickly wholesale them to more adventurous, less choosy investors.

Best of luck whichever adventure you choose.

So everyday is a new adventure.

But its not unlike gambling in a casino.  

So many others "settle" and take the deal in hopes for higher sales prices in time, they are literally gambling on continued appreciation to take the deal down.

Best of luck to you on your RE adventure!

Don't get me wrong; there are plenty of issues/problems/quirks that old houses have that new houses don't, and an old house can obviously have hidden problems and big repair/maintenance bills too--which is why thorough due diligence is fundamental to REI...but, the point is: a brand new house is not a foolproof solution to repairs/maintenance headaches (and in some cases, a brand new house can be a much bigger gamble than an older house).This is a particularly important lesson for inexperienced investors, who tend to be the most prone to "shiny object syndrome" (the tendency to let nice aesthetics distract from real, underlying issues).
