Your wife got a emotional sale.

Dont get emotional about it or you can make more mistakes.

Connect on their human emotion How do we accomplish this ?

@KC Conti One of the hardest thing to learn in RE is “you need to lov your money more then a particular property” You seem to emotional attached with this dealNo deal is better then a bad deal

you become an asset management company handling the major disciplines, one stop shopping..

With that said, I'm prepared to run my business like a business and not with a emotion. 

A few perspective tennents were calling their pit bulls emotional support animals.

But if you plan to self perform you will most likely need to contract an engineer that specializes in each of the disciplines.

Bad credit indicates a lack of financial discipline which is essential for success.

If you paid $10k for the down payment and closing costs of the investment, then your very first cash flow is NEGATIVE $10k.I think because there are so many investors that have not learned the sophistication of the calculations, they become emotionally against a NEGATIVE cash flow even though the very FIRST cash flow is NEGATIVE.That's because they really only understand a definition of Cash Flow which does not actually involve the flow of cash!
