And what kind of gamble are we investors making, when most MF loans are only locked in for 5-7 years?

@John Cornelius London, UK!

@Andrew Easterling  Roxbury is historically one of the worst areas of Boston for crime - but it's gentrifying as other parts of Boston are priced out of sight.For example, duplexes in Boston as a whole range in price from $589,000 (Mattapan) to $4.65M (Back Bay).If you want to gamble on a high crime area in the path of gentrification, I'd consider Mattapan. 

Hello I had a question to a video I saw about Deal Sourcing/Deal Packaging it took place in the UK and I was wondering if it was a thing in the United States specifically Florida?

It is always a gamble when buying a condo unless maybe it just received its recertification recently.

Smart investors make their money when they buy - waiting for appreciation seems to be a bit like gambling.

Probably a bit of a gamble to waive some of my rights, but really wanted to push this deal thru

I had an extremely similar situation last year, it was a property I was fixing up to sell, the main contractor had some issues (maybe drinking, drug or gambling) and kept asking me for money saying he needed to pay the crew and has been working really hard.

You might be able to find some materials online but you gamble on the quality.In my case this is what I follow:- Construction material locally so we quickly can resupply - Flooring locally (I find better prices and service this way)- Plumbing locally (I bought online for my first remo and quality was really bad) locally are more expensive but I don't gamble anymore as plumbing is something that is always a time constraints to complete and continue other works.- Electronic fixtures like fans, etc online.

If they've just got the 3.5% down, then you've got to decide if it's worth the gamble to enter into a long escrow, or take the listing back to active in hopes of finding the right buyer with the right loan (or cash).
