And that kind of grounded unemotional logic is exactly why I decided to look at this from an investment point of view rather than a home-owner based emotional point of view.

I'll admit it's for emotional reasons and my one thing about landlording I get emotionally invovled in but I know I will "get over it" in time.

I think you would have a better chance of purchasing below market if you concentrated on regular sellers since there is some desperation or emotion involved.

As a mom it was the hardest thing I'd ever had to do and a true test having to separate from the emotion.

The two that aren't addressed that way are related to the emotional aspect of calling a union a "marriage" and taxation related to a marriage.On the taxation side, the biggest one is in estate taxation and inheritance.

Go by the Numbers and know when to walk...If it seems as though you're cutting it REAL close and hoping some day this and that may happen which should provide a great return...this is Not the market for those kinds of deals IMHO.Ultimately, it's your decision though..just leave emotions out

Fear and greed are two of the most powerful emotions in this business.

You have actually made the agents job easy, because he is feeding off of your emotions as I am as I read these post.NEVER, NEVER, get personal with a deal it is business.

I own my home, so am not impacted by Fair Housing laws, which really have nothing to do with Service animals but with Emotional Support Animals(ESAs).

Sellers are too emotional and this one you already say is a mess.Ditto you want your agent looking into the values, the deal, the structure.
