Trader Joes 5 minutes, WF 10 minutes walk, so is a major university. 

In every case that I can remember it was someone who was 2nd or 3rd in line, each of them adding some greedy Hail Mary assignment fee.

That's why when you look closley you will see that they are extremely greedy with sf per unit.

and like you said you can always renegotiate to meet an under appraisal.And of course in my world it allowed us to 1031 out which, you might guess, is a subject ever so close to my heart :)@Cara Lonsdale as long as you don't get greedy and build in realistic appreciation factors you can even do this buying at retail. 

@Athina Margaris So as an equities investor, that thought sounds synonymous to stock traders trying to time the market.

We here all know real estate (or are trying to learn) so as long as you buy for cashflow and properly manage your risk, you lessen the impact the greedy people on Wall street can affect your own personal wealth. 

You want to earn a few million in five years, put on your suit and head down to Wall Street and see if they are hiring traders (ps they aren't, not unless you went to a Top 10 B-School) Some folks have given you well meaning, but incorrect advice.

OMG that landlord is such a sleaze and so greedy! 

Don't be afraid to leave them some $3 Trader Joes/Aldi wine as a welcome gift too - that'll guarantee your positive review :-) Best of luck!

Sellers are greedy right now, especially small 6-10 unit buildings.
