DANGER - tenants who have low credit (didn’t pay their other bills for debts they agreed to repay) who have 6 mo rent saved up (possibly from not paying rent for 6 or more months) and have been declined at so many other places that they lead with the offer, particularly with private landlords on new rental listings, hoping to snag someone greedy who will take a chance on them.The two questions I would ask #3 are - 1. are you currently in a position where you are making 3x rent to income and you are actively saving / paying down debts (like a debt snowball, verifiable with bank statements) such that you’re on a path towards home ownership in the future if you want to own?

Then you have the day traders in crypto also who can jump in out of different coins and tokens day to day and they just feel like they know that market better than the traditional stock market. 

that's how this started.I don't want to be greedy here  I would rather play it safe as its an 800K+ townhome and we have had the rates very high as we want select clientele coming through.  

I didn’t plan on things going this way I just kind of got backed into a corner on the whole thing and since we live in a small town and I also run brick and mortar grocery store in this town, I didn’t want to get a bad reputation of being “greedy”, but honestly that’s one of my biggest weakness is that I care what people think too much.

I am currently cash-flowing 810 a month and I would feel greedy raising it by 250.

Don't be greedy you had rather own a percentage of something than all of nothing.

Dont be too greedy if it already looks like a pretty good deal.

Not me.Be smart, not greedy....

Hey Jim,Warren Buffett once said that it is wise for investors to be “fearful when others are greedy, and greedy when others are fearful.”This happens in almost every market for a variety of reasons.
