@Federico Morales I'd have to say the @Joe Splitrock hit it on the head here.Separate emotion from business - you said you want to hold on to it but in reality it's not a great investment.

There are many crooks on their trying to sell you whatever they are trying to sell through emotion or fear. 

I almost made a terrible decision based off of emotion and desperation (WONT happen again).Does anyone have any strategies for finding deals in this current market in PA?

These are large scale financial assets, many time with emotional attachments.

In your case $ 1.125,00The great thing about  calculators is that they’re blind to local markets, our attachments, emotions or bias.Generally you need to experiment on which wheels you need to turn (price, debt service, down payment, terms, etc.) to make the deal work.

The more emotion you can take out the better, but in the early stages of doing deals, it is almost impossible. 

I know it's an emotional response but my neighbor is a good guy and I want this to be a good deal for both of us.Thank you BP!

Fortunately I was able to force the estate to pay rent owed and my expenses for filing the eviction.You should not ever involve emotions in business or you will always be on the losing end financially.My policy is ..S**t happens, nothing I can do about it, pay your rent first then I will see what I can do. 

Real estate investing can certainly be an emotional rollercoaster, especially when you first start out.

There's usually no emotion involved and we're just trying to get to a meeting of the minds, and I know the buyer's expectations are being managed.
