I only work with folks if they communicate.

The thing I like about lots/land is there is a lot less emotion involved compared to houses. 

Next, maintain professional boundaries with clear communication and a strong lease agreement to set expectations upfront.Proactive maintenance is essential.

However, after reflection, I realized I was becoming too emotionally attached to my first investment after a 15-year break and faced challenges finding reliable contractors.Update (5/17/23):After three failed contractor attempts, I finally secured a reliable one.

The biggest thing is communication, keep it touch with your tenant, make sure you emphasize that you want them happy with the property and that you need to know right away of any issues with the property.  

Buyers agent will still be paid, but now you have to communicate your value to your client.Jumping from one thing another isn't going to solve your issues.

Try to take a long-term view—it usually helps remove the emotional weight and allows you to think more clearly about the problem.

Buying or selling a home is a major financial (and emotional) undertaking.

Unfortunately, some choices are business decisions and you have to get over the emotions of the moment. 

Assuming your offer got accepted, the owner would need to get a unit vacated by closing (obviously this will need to be communicated).
