Taking a gamble on a potential negative tenant isn't the right move in my opinion.

They run an illegal gambling ring in one of the company's commercial buildings.

Money’s more expensive and holding costs add up, so people don’t want to gamble on thin margins anymore. 

I used to own three rentals in Seattle but after 2012 when the prices got too high I realized that sophisticated buy-and-hold investors invest where the numbers make sense with cash flow, not appreciation (gambling).

Remove the good planning, and your just gambling on guesses, not investing.

For the love of humanity don't buy any sub $200k or $180k Class C homes - it's a gamble, could do well or do bad.

If using it as a long term rental doesn't cash flow you are gambling on the short term rental working out.

Sometimes I like to gamble, based on the risk/reward.

It's always a gamble with the government is involved, and I lost on this one.
