Appreciation is "gambling", no one can predict the market, nobody.

I don't recall a city taking it harder on the chin than Vegas did, a place driven by gamblers and gambling.  

I don't know that I would gamble and say you could sell it if it doesn't work out, you could be holding it for some time.

It's an online-based MLS broker that was a big hit in the UK.

The area does not have explicit rules on STRs so its a gamble with that strategy.

Tesla was a gamble since I wanted a CyberTruck and it ended making me 1048% sold on September 2 when I sold I can buy it back after the first of the year a little cheaper and if the stock does well I can pay for a car. if not I buy a cheaper used one.

I do know that successful investments start and end with a sound plan, overwise you are gambling.

Keep in mind that the gamble of relying on appreciation and mortgage pay down is that it will vanish in a heart beat when the markets adjust/turn.

Couldn't pay me to gamble on the outcome of that mess.

@Steve Vaughan  agreed very slippery slope... we all hear about Hewlit and Packard starting in a garage with 15k of credit cards in the early days... and well look where they ended up.. so who knows.. but it sure is a gamble.
