I've run the numbers and it looks like a reasonable buy still at this point, but I was much happier with the idea of $48k.

You'll be much happier in both short-term and the long-term...

I couldn't be happier.

I've finally accepted that she is my tithing and I'm happier sleeping guilt free than being a little richer. 

that may be hard.I suggest that you talk to brokers, they would have places that are ready for a new owner to walk into, I would also suggest that you switch from"multi-family" to a condo (or two) that you buy and make positive income by renting them.Also, I would worry less about the taxes and more about the cash flow, including all the expenses and the existing rent.. if I pay high rent, but I get a lot of cash out of it I am happier then paying low rent and breaking even.

Happier tenants make for easier showings.

So I love them because our vacancies are pretty much nonexistent, and they have done studies that pet owners stay longer and are happier....  

Better humor will help you go through life a happier person  ;)Merry Xmas btw!

Well, two days after listing the house we got multiple offers, some over asking, and I could not be happier and more grateful to God. 2017 was the year when I went through the lowest point of my flipping career (albeit a short 2-year one) after losing a significant amount of money and sleep and weight, hair, smile, relationships, self-confidence, and self-esteem.

I would do that math and double check it to see how much of a difference it will make because you might be much happier living in a unit by yourself.
