Keep your costs down by using a common paint color on the inside as well as carpet from an ethical supplier and dependable manufacturer. 

Finding other investors around my local market and my network from my hometown is difficult when you have no proven track record other than your work ethic (which I am very proud of).

So many people are going cremation (cheaper) or ethical burial (smaller footprint).

These are professionals with additional training and a stricter code of ethics.

Wholesalers who disclose to the seller that they are not the ultimate buyer and that they will be trying to "flip" the deal at a higher price allow the seller to analyze whether he believes that wholesaler can help him sell the property and if he wishes to enter into an arrangement as such.On the other hand, wholeasalers who disguise themselves as end buyers but use a weasel clause to get out of a contract if they can not flip it are walking a fine line in ethics.

If specific performance is specified, they can sue you.If you put some weasel clause in the contract, like "contingent on partner's approval", you can say your partner didn't approve and bail on that basis.Now, whether any of that is ethical or not is a different question.

This is the problem as most foreign companies who sell US properties are not ethical.

Good partners compliment each other, they have defined areas of responsibility and duties to perform, they have different areas of expertise and they need to trust the other's judgment.Trust is required, are they honest, do you have similar levels of integrity, similar ethical outlook, are they financially responsible even if they aren't loaded?

I pretty much got every deal I offered on.It's not so much that the listing agent isn't handling things ethically, but they might give you an idea if there are other offers.

So I would rather put into property with no management company and not only burn money but also let my money go into things I have almost no say in and given to people that don't have the same ethics as ourselves.
