The compliance philosophy of many agencies today works to your benefit if you make a mistake.

Where is the logic and business management philosophy behind that thinking.

I believe if in the abundance philosophy...there is plenty of opportunity for everyone. 

I’ve also found that adopting Ray Dalio’s philosophy of asking myself “how do I know I’m right” instead of just thinking “I’m right” forces the issue of giving every angle an honest look if I want any chance at being successful at this.

@Marcos Carbi  timing the market is notoriously difficult (and research generally shows that even experts who try to time the market usually get it wrong).My philosophy is:  If the property pencils out right now, and fits within your goals, then waiting for future market changes seems silly. 

I've got a similar philosophy to @Corby Goade in that I aspire to keep everything performing forever.

Thanks for the hines view and yes I'm all down for practicing leverage more so than the philosophy of leverage so!

My philosophy is, if I'm going to be spending the time anyway (mowing the lawn, watching a movie, listening to the radio), why not instead spend that time productively?

Meditations would be a book I'd recommend to everyone I know because I'm a huge fan of the Stoic philosophy - it's not a book about real estate investing though just to point that out - I got the Gregory Hays version and really enjoyed reading it.

My philosophy is; renting to tenants is a business, should be treated like a business where service is provided and if a landlord hates doing repairs and dealing with tenants then get out of the business.Sorry, but they need to take the word 'lord' out of rental property ownership. i always tell my tenants I am the Property Owner or Building Owner.
