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.

I know it's probably not the common "investor" way of thinking when looking at a home, but I could see myself living in this house so I got emotionally involved in the place (DOH!).

Often having an agent as a buffer between you and the listing agent will help you step back and look at the transaction with out getting to emotionally involved.

Keep emotion out of the transaction."

Obviously, I would never expect anyone in bank management to admit this....and I plan on finding the 'who' in this process who has authority to rethink the logic.It's less logic and more ego/emotion.

Learn the math and invest based on the numbers, not emotion.

Do not let your emotions get in the way 4.
