I really like that mentality of providing a service for our tenants. 

So on my 45 minute drive home from my W2 job I mentally started putting together a list of friends and family that I may be able to ask for help, or present it as an offer an opportunity to invest to raise the down payment.

@Margharita Silva  once a tenant gives notice, no matter how long they have been with you they have mentally moved on. 

You can have that mentality and even tell others but it is simply false and extremely limiting.

When you bought it, did you note the condition of the carpet and make a mental note and jot down on your spreadsheet that you need to replace the carpet on tenant turn? 

Evidently, you demonstrate traits of one who is mentally unstable. 

To fully drive the mental aspect home, think about if you owned a convenience store and a customer stole from you.

We've always had the mentality that rental real estate is a long-term hold...

Being that it's so close to the holidays it's put me in a very mental bind to figure out the situation.
