As a new investor it's very easy to become extremely greedy as you begin to sell your first set of properties.

Takes 6-10 just to trade real estate!

FSBOs are like very greedy sometimes.

I'm 25 years old and for work, I'm a trader for an asset manager in the area.

Infact, I am looking forward to it as that is when you will get the best possible deals.I remember a quote from Warren Buffett “ Be fearful when others are greedy and be greedy when others are fearful” 

And of course, as you pointed out, not wanting to setup a bad relationship with the neighbor if he now thinks you are a greedy prick

So both of them knew the truth and both response was greed. I

If investor is too greedy and the deal barely exist, don't waste your time.One good way is to get an option on the property, I have few samples I can help you with, but always refer to an attorney to review any contracts or to draft it from scratch... and remember, contracts are as good as the people who sign them, unfortunately.Good luck and let me know how I can help.

Never compromise your standards, though ... no deal is better than a bad one.Finally, for a newbie, I think a down market (think 2009-2012) is the easiest (but scariest) time to start and it may be useful to be self aware that your emotions may lead you astray ... as Buffet recommends, be greedy when others are fearful and fearful when others are greedy ... easier said than done, but good advice none the less.
