Warren Buffett:"A simple rule dictates my buying: Be fearful when others are greedy, and be greedy when others are fearful""Rule No. 1: Never lose money.

Do it with integrity , know the numbers, and don't get greedy.  

All the heavy hitter note traders are here.

Being able to push the problems of potentially homeless people onto the "evil greedy" landlords and telling them to just suck it up is just too cushy of a setup for governments be in a hurry to end.  

-Local governments will continue to increase barriers to entry Local zoning ordinance and housing requirements will continue to get more stringent to "make housing more affordable" and to "prevent the evil greedy developers from making too much money".

I have ten thousand reasons I would do this over the stock market (and I am an Investor Relations analyst by day, my hubs is a trader on his off days, we are both in O&G and KILLING ourselves to move everything into RE as quickly as possible.) 

@Larry Turowski How greedy of someone to want to get paid for the work that they did to market a property which caused you to be interested in it.

And then about 14 grand has been billed in sales tax so far (greedy state). 

You feel competitive, you cut corners, and you make mistakes.We've seen greedy buyers the past couple of years, making offers above asking when the prices are already disconnected from reality, waiving due diligence, etc.

You probably know the old axiom from Warren Buffett: "Be fearful when others are greedy, and greedy when others are fearful."
