Investors will keep coming back to you not because every deal is a home run -- this is an impossibility -- but because you have established yourself as someone who can be trusted to keep his word, to uphold strong ethics, and to do the right thing.  

(im not sure if ethics would come into play here ; if it would maybe there would be an ethical way to come to an agreement?)

I don’t feel they’re ethical or have my best interest at heart if they try to earn an outsized profit just because they might be able to get away with it

My apologies to the responsible and ethical real estate agents out there.

the ethical investor who wants to re-sell short sales who closes using their own funds in a fully disclosed ,fully transparent stand alone transaction with their own escrow should be able to re-sell 5 minutes later if they choose.

If you close a deal, you have several years to look over your shoulder.You have a choice, you can start in the real estate business in an ethical, lawful and compliant manner, seeking to become a real estate professional or you can begin and conduct your business in much the same way as a drug dealer does trying to hide your deals and ignoring laws.

It shows you that anyone can do it with the right knowledge, persistence, patience, and work ethic.

Maybe greed is blurring their ethical practices.

I firmly believe that you have to run your business in an ethical and legal manner.

Excellent job- good work and ethic :)
