Even with immaculate comps being greedy can cost you....Kudos,Mary

Here are the basic facts as I know them.I moved to this part of the country (NW Arkansas) 1.5 years ago following a career on Wall Street as a derivatives trader.

I'm new also, and in an area where houses are foreclosing left and right, however due to the upward swing in the market, banks are getting greedy and not willing to sell at the investor's prices (I read that 65% of market value minus repairs, is about where an investor needs to buy - is this correct folks?).

If you don't want to spill your personal assessments in public you can speak in the third person as to how others might make some self assessment.Know thy self certainly is a beginning point in business.Most of my RE activities when I began were basically as a supplemental income matter, the motivation was probably greed, I just wanted the money and my involvement was rather casual.

@Abe Gonzales  not sure he wants to be a day trader  :)  and sometimes day traders don't have a winning day.

People are just getting greedy in this market.

I am not completely against STR's, but you need to wait until they regulate it. i suspect they are not gonna make it TOO hard for STR landlords...if you are so greedy that you can't wait a little while, then you need to reevaluate your value system.

Some greedy tenants may try to use the mold as an excuse to sue landlords for money.

Hi @Trever C Trader, Those are all great questions!
