Removal of emotion is important.

I can be opposed to a politician because of their policies without suffering any emotional distress because they don't share my beliefs and values.I will look at the Obama Presidency the same way I did the Clinton one before the 1994 election.

These are some of the biggies:1.Divorced – Often 2 parties must agree, distress sale, “don’t wanters”, bad memories2.Death – Executor, quick sale, high emotions, be considerate, tactful, caring3.Relocation – quick sale, quick closing4.Downsizing, “empty nesters” – maybe will agree to owner finance?

[size=12][/size]Abandoned owners have no emotional ties left and once you find them, nearly 100% of the time they will sell for payoff.

Not to say that there aren't EMOTIONAL sellers, WHACK JOB sellers, and yes just even MOTIVATED sellers on whom it might work.

They made me scared too and I acted with emotion instead of logic.

It boils down to an attitude, a state of mind, emotion and a person of action.It takes courage, creativity and consistency to walk up to someone's front door and knock!

I find this to be the best route because I am not emotionally tied to the deal and rather can think through the best opportunities...I like OPM.Derek

Here are the reasons: legal positions.Don't ask me for details because I don't know them, but I can tell you that combining the lease-option contract (filing it with the courthouse as well) solidifies your interest in the property as opposed to seperating the two which will weaken your legal position in court in the event that your optioner is crooked and has all types of liens and such on the deed that he did not disclose with you.

The emotion of fear is intended to warn us of danger and to act as a cautionary tool.
