I'm going to hold onto the property and give it at least another year before I decide to emotionally sell. 

Let the reader determine which of the responses makes more of an emotional connection.Not saying that's what happened, but an interesting hypothetical... :-)

Consider the emotional aspect too. 

It’s emotionally draining, but I’m determined to honor his legacy by building a real estate portfolio, just like he did.On top of that, I’ve faced a lot of loss in recent years.

They may be more emotionally concerned, but that doesn't mean they are better at the job.Why are millionaires and billionaires using financial managers, property managers, nannies, and maids? 

The emotional / confidence factor does matter when it comes to conviction to hold over the longhaul.4) Are you improving or decreasing in the quality of area you are going into in order to acheive this cashflow in PGH?

And, especially if your goal is to build a portfolio to live off of, bad deals (and even marginal deals), will keep you from achieving that goal much more than slowing down and waiting for better deals to surface.But beyond that, I also find I get most burnt out when I am invested in deals emotionally and with time.  

Those who do understand it aren’t struggling.Here’s the common flaw: people think a circumstance equals motivation.Foreclosure = motivatedTax lien = motivatedAbsentee owner = motivatedThat’s just not true.Motivation is an emotional response to a circumstance, not the circumstance itself.Let me give you an example.

The law requires you to accept emotional support animals, but it does not give the tenant a ticket to violate basic rules.

Sometimes, bridging these emotional gaps can be the key to closing a deal.
