Hello All, I am looking to purchase my first commercial real estate property here in UK.

I used to gamble and was pretty good at it, especially blackjack  / 21. 

Also I would like to know if it's still a good deal to invest in UK before Brexit for non residents.

In every project someone is taking a gamble.

Of course, you can never wait until you have everything, but it seems like there is significantly less one has to work with before starting real estate investing, making one's attempt feel more like a gamble than a calculated risk....Or is there?

My lender recently notified me that freddie mac & fannie Mae guidelines have changed that don't count gambling income as "income".This puts me in a bad position as I want to invest in more homes, but without getting financed I'm limited on what I can do & at this moment I don't want to change jobs because of this change.

I also have a portfolio of rentals in the UK and India but for the moment, the US is the most attractive market for me.My short-term objective is to build an income stream but the priority in the medium-to-long term is capital growth so I tend to buy good value but better quality units (not the bottom-end high income properties).

@Derek Daun LoL, I was stationed in Las Vegas for 5 years and I always compare insurance to gambling casinos....you give them your money and they never have to give you anything in return.  

With some luck and hard work I hope to be able to leave my current career path and focus fully on real estate.I am a UK citizen and moved here three years ago to pursue a career as a scientist.
