Please, don't get emotionally tied up just because you feel you've already put in so much effort in gaining rapport.

Don't jump into buying a property out of desperation or emotion.

@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.

I don't know if that would have been grandfathered, but it's dangerous so I change it for copper (short story: copper and aluminum expand/contact differently and over time their connections can weaken and result in a fire) The house I bought from 2001 was pure copper. 

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!
