For the ignorant dummy who responded do not judge me wether or not why or why not if I can reach out to these home owners investors who are struggling with elderly tenants Dont put words in my mouth if you are capable in that small brain of yours I will reiterate once more Now put your ears on ok never did I say investors should not profit or perform accordingly Now about greed in the real estate community of investing it does exist take your head out of the sand I will repeat myself Because I do not cater to ignorant people such as you seem to be I have met good people who are investors I have met greedy selfish people who are investors as well So don't assume as you have about my capabilities  Heres my question why haven't you reached out to provide solutions All you do it seems is point that proverbial finger at others and their opinions suggestions I hope you don't respond I don't communicate well with ignorance My words are ended D

It is in a broker's best interest to sell at a higher price if they are being selfish (you shouldn't be working with self interested brokers anyways). 

People like you that discover something and keep it to theirs elves selfishly not giving a crap about helping others, as you had mentioned, I should have kept"If you really do have such a brilliant unique system that somehow nobody else has thought of and is so easy to implement you will quietly sit there and buy 10$ houses all day long and hope nobody else ever finds out!"

haha  But I still need reliable and professional back up... but I have 4 kids and selfishly one day when they all have phones they will be earning that write off and helping with guests!!!

Am I being selfish?

Take those away or lessen them to reduce my taxes on ordinary income takes away the best opportunity that I have as an individual in the poor and middle class to financially succeed and it puts me in the daily grind where I have to be at the whims of market forces and other people's selfish decision making for my financial future.I am not a billionaire or corrupt...that's class warfare that creates divisiveness, which does not create opportunity for any of us in any class.There are consumers and there are investors and that is driven by each person's personal decisions.  

It feels like I'm stuck in some sort of limbo between "I want to make a lot of money" and "I really want to help a lot of people.On one hand, there sits a burning desire to help people, which has been a part of my personality for a long time.On the other hand squats a selfish guilt in wanting to make a large amount of money.

@Valerie Rogers I selfishly wish you would have stayed with them.

Call me selfish, but a collapse in real estate would help me immensely.But I'm glad we didn't get a governor who wanted an income tax and obscene levels of obnoxious regulations.

Totally selfish question but, I am in negotiations with a landlord who wants to sell 2 quadplexes in St.
