I’m not good with Canadian psychology when it comes to real estate better at American.

For us, pulling the trigger on the first rental will be a huge psychological move.Doing the research we estimate for a 100k unit, leveraged at 25%, we should be able to take home about $200 / month.

You can’t get around the psychological aspect of that.

Our training comes from neurosciences, psychology, sociology and it intensely regimented.

I'm an experienced multifamily investor.How big is the difference in tenant psychology between a tenant in a Park Owned home who I'm told "won't feel ownership over their home," as compared to a regular working class tenant in my apartment buildings that also doesn't feel ownership over their home?

more than happy to be a sponge.I'd first get fluent with technical analysis and trading psychology.

You can look in the outer areas or find absolute gems to force appreciate especially with the psychological effect on this market right now.The reason why I’m so bullish on this market is the water rights we’re just approved for further expansion in west boiseMicron is adding 15B to its campus, 2k jobs which will likely add 15k support jobs.highway 16 will link our Amazon warehouse to the greater boise areas to the north. 

Never let the psychology of past investment cloud your view of what you should do going forward. 3 months without an application is the tell right there. 

Light Rail + PATH is in my mind dramatically inferior for anything say north of 34th Street in Manhattan, and even for lower streets closer to Midtown bus + subway seem to be at par.My take is taking the bus where the distance to the city is short enough (such as from near 30th street in Union City, or most places in Weehawken) works very well even if adjusting for any volatility/absolute deviation due to traffic.There is a psychological barrier with buses, where the latter are perceived to be significantly volatile vs subways, though I have observed decent volatility with subways as well. 

You don't specifically detail your real estate experience and I am a strong advocate of self-management when at all possible (rental experience, good legal guidance, a good understanding of tenant psychology - at a minimum) but you couldn't pay me to have a rental in New York.
