Don’t get too greedy.

We, and our owners, aren't worried about $15, but tenants really do feel like we are greedy fat cats when you do that crap.

@Stuart GardnerI point to the countless news articles and stories about "greedy" developers, landlords, and real estate investors who have the audacity to want to make money. 

There is some irony about not liking any wholesaler negativity while you throw your friends JV partner (a wholesaler) under the bus as "greedy".

Tenants are seen as uncaring of the property, the source of all behavior woes and generally horrible people.We had a vandalism problem and everybody coming to the board meetings, including other board members, would make comments that "it's probably some renter" and "I hate that these people just come in and destroy our properties and then leave a year later and nobody cares, especially not the landlord".Then, a couple of months later when the perpetrator was caught and discovered to be a homeowner, nobody apologized for their attitude, nobody had a change of heart and nobody was willing to stand up and state that they were wrong to accuse the landlords and their tenants.Landlords are generally seen as greedy, money-grubbing jerks who just allow any old rando to ruin the lives of all the innocent owner occupants.I'm exaggerating a little bit here, but not that much.The concept that you would come in as not only a landlord but (gasp!)

The key is to not get greedy and overdo it.  

@Jon S.You may think differently about shorting when your large short gets called in when you can least afford it.There are ways to short most things these days but its far from an easy task unless you get everything right and/or have great traders.

Greedy investors only form I win, win, win; you lose, lose, lose deals.

Be fearful when others are greedy yada yada yada and so on.

One of my friends is a successful day trader, and he's told me that the two cardinal sins of stock trading are fear and greed.
