It's the same principle you would practice with a mutual fund: it continues to grow (hopefully) and you pay a tithe from the prophets received at the time the profits are received.I am not strict about this by any means, for myself or others.. what other people give is not my business and I do not believe in people giving under compulsion.

It's not just about the numbers – it's about creating win-win scenarios where both parties can sleep well at night.3 principles I've learned after 4 years in real estate investing:1) Transparency builds trust. 

I would argue that you can only save a finite amount of money when aggressively paying off the mortgage, but you have a much higher potential increase to your assets and wealth by taking that extra principle and reinvesting it into other investment instruments.

If a student wants to attend a LEGITIMATE university but their background indicates they won’t be successful an ethical college will reject their application.  

Just saw this....although that may not be illegal in some states it is certainly un-ethical IMHO

We reach agreement in principle with the seller on what we mutually want to achieve. 

He encourages ethical behavior, and personal growth.

I have done everything the right way, the ethical way, treating people with honesty and respect.. treating the market and the process with respect (not cutting any corners, permits, etc) and it seems like I have been beaten down at every turn and now I am at risk of losing everything I have worked hard for years to obtain. 

What I mean is, the payments made to the seller, is the total payments consisting of principle/interest, property taxes and mortgage insurance all wrapped into 1 payment and made to the seller?

Atlanta area "pastors" involved in real estate... that's a whole different story in ethics.
