Sometimes being greedy and stingy in business can lead to having to loose even more, as opposed to showing humanity and kindness to a neighbor.  

They have no action to help struggling landlords as all are greedy and rich in our state.

The current transition we're in reminds me of Warren Buffet's old adage -"Be fearful when others are greedy and greedy when others are fearful."

Is it funny to joke about being on American Greed?

Considering the circumstances, I would really appreciate your opinions on whether I am being greedy with the listing price or whether I should be patient, keep the selling price as it is, and wait for a serious buyer. 

If you are a miserable greedy person, money willMake you more greedy and miserable.

There is no reason they need to be in New York.Due to the high percentage of commissions generated by individual and institutional traders, such a tax could make brokerage firms less competitive with firms out of state.

At some point (if not already), buyers will be legitimately priced out of the market.However, Buffet is more well known for his quote that it is wise for investors to be “fearful when others are greedy, and greedy when others are fearful.”Especially in New York City, this is a golden time to get in the market when interest rates are low and housing prices have softened.

In theory all of those things work.. in reality they rarely do if your not in the business full time IE  an agent or broker.. on the street level .and its regional as hell .. in some markets you can trade real estate like a used car broker you can buy properties for 5 to 20k each and do something with them.in other markets that is not enough money for a earnest money deposit .. so market matters.. your goals matter of course and your ability to capture capital or financing.Keep in mind Brandon is and has invest at least in the beginning when he used to actually participate on the forums.. in a little town on in central coastal Wa. that was basically dead and dying timber AG fishing town.. and properties were not expensive and you had motivated sellers.. he was not in Seattle..
