My thoughts, in no particular order: 1) walk away; 2) conventional financing at their asking price, understanding that if the properties appraise under their asking price I either bite the bullet, they come down, or I walk away (and am out the cost of three appraisals). 

I'm about to make an offer on my first larger multifamily (20 unit apartment complex) and the non-disclosure I was asked to sign in order to view the financials has a bullet point that says I'm "acting as an Investor only and therefore am not entitled to commission."

@Brian Schmelzlen that may have been the case before, but I do believe rentals still qualify (that's not the case for some other energy credits, like geothermal, which went away anyhow).

Spending time and energy with residents and contractors is fine for many but not for others...we all have different goals.

So much to learn from your story as I am also married and have a new little member of the family coming soo (not too excited about stepping into a minivan :) You got Great energy.

When that happens to me, I feel like I dodged a bullet--better a vacant unit than a unit with a bad tenant in it. 

Bite the bullet til then. 

I am in the process of rehabbing a rental property and although this situation is currently moving along smoothly, I am at a dilemma if I should focus all of my energy in the rental property or should I also be looking for other deals?

This is your time to be selfish - sacrifice play time now while you have the time and energy so you can be selfless in your 30s and on once you have a family. 5.
