It IS much tougher to invest in the UK if you are going to flip for several reasons: 1.)

But with gambling being so accessible, people are throwing away home down payments without even realizing it.💡 Are you seeing this trend in your network?

I do my search and feel that Manchester, Liverpool , and Birmingham as most likely areas I can invest in , My goal is to have good houses "Single famliy" with good prices that can establish a good cash flow as passive income.For sorry I do not live in any of those ares, I know them from EPL and try to do the research based on income and thier share in UK GDP , for sure london is the best but I can not handle the prices there.Based on my reasech I can classigy them as follow : Manchester is the best in , Birmingham , and then liverpool.I see Liverpool houses is more but rent to prices ratio is low .I need your insights on this with your valuable advise , considering the area I choose , I will keep investing on it and enlarge my protfolio in it for the next 10 years.

Stock market is an investment, and as such is still a gamble.

.: Quote from @JD Martin: Quote from @David Pike: If you invested $100k and then put $19k in for the capital call, you would potentially get your capital call back ($19K) plus 25% of the $100k so $25k.So you're looking at either a $75k loss if you gamble the $19k, a $100k loss if you don't participate and are wiped out, or a $119k loss if you participate but are still wiped out.

But it’s a bit of a gamble on how long that will take to happen, and if it will actually happen.

Putting $5,000 of nonrefundable earnest money down without an inspection or utilities is a big gamble.

But we aren't gambling in REI.

I realized that my personal goals were more aligned with that than growing a team and gambling on others to do their part.

That's just gambling though.
