Do you ever feel like a predator?

As investors we are always looking for a good deal  as that is how we grow learn and hopefully prosper.

I just logged off of the MLS feeling disgusted with myself for feeling like well, a predator. Googling an owner of property trying to find out what his/her problem/pain point is in order to garner the best deal. Then stumbling upon a Facebook , Go Fundme page or obituary of spouse or child. I do understand that being armed with the right information usually puts you in a better position to negotiate.

Just wondering if any of you ever feel this way when searching for the deal and having to dig for information and coming up with some not so pleasant circumstances people have experienced or are experiencing hence they are selling.
