@Liam Thomas I also share your interests in ecommerce, social marketing, and have been an active crypto investor/trader for over a year. 

My observation is that cash investors or investors with substantial equity, tend to be more greedy with their sale prices.

So unfortunately the sister can't even get approved for a $50K loan, let alone refinance to pull the money out, and my friend can't qualify to get his own loan once he pays off the greedy sister. 

He has built relationships with other traders and has access to more deals than we have capital for.

If I found a great deal, people that I approached suddenly became greedy and wanted half the deal or 10 points - when their normal is 5 points - etc. 

Do I take an extra percentage for that work or is that looked as being greedy/selfish?

Don’t be greedy.

I'm empathetic to you people trying to run an ethical business to provide for your families and have to constantly be painted as the "greedy landlord" for trying to make a living. 

Ottawa was great but the numbers dont make sense no more.I also found that in many of these markets, the sellers are retiring, they are not overly greedy, some offer seller financing and there is always great value add opportunities (mostly under value rents, easy light reno cosmetic jobs and leases that include electric heat and water which can easily be transferred back to renters.

And they just built a brand new packing house, with trader joes, and sprouts.
