I want to do things the right way (legally, ethically, morally, etc.).

The moral of the story is - be patient, stick with the course you're on, and good things will happen.

I would like to say I would take the moral high road and not buy from people who illegally use bandit signs but if I had a great deal in front of me I'm not sure I wouldn't look the other way.

Obviously you mean the moral principal, but what of it?

It's never too early or late (ethically or morally) because someone has decided to deal with stuff in order to receive current or future benefits of a property. 

Moral of the story, don't get discouraged before you get started.

Strong business ethics and high moral charactor are essential to any endeavour.

MORAL OF THE STORY: You can become an investor that only cares about money... or you can become an investor that loves helping other people and make a lot of money while doing it... the choice is yours!

Dani - clearly you are asserting your cultural superiority from your uber- politically correct moral high ground in Portlandia.

However all of them require an immense amount of honesty, morality and ethical behavior.
