It's an emotional response from an immature Landlord, not a professional.if a tenant tells me they will be five days late, I remind the late fee will be charged on the 5th.

I let emotion and people I thought cared about me get in the way of what I know I truly want, which is to get my mothers house back.

Inherited properties tend to have - obviously perhaps - a lot more emotional dynamics and that in and of itself could affect your profitability.

There is a certain level of mental and emotional freedom that comes with not owing anything (including for your properties).

I had all of the same emotions you have when I first got started.

I’m crafting an offer that gets their emotions out of the way.

As humans we tend to make decisions more on emotions first, rather than on facts and figures.

From an emotional prospective you'll be looking for another property or renting for a while and there's nothing wrong with that. 

The landlord was sued for millions, but sadly the mental and emotional damage to those poor women was far worse than any money could compensate for.From what I have seen, I would guess half of "mom and pop" landlords don't rekey, which is sad.

Your emotional response is normal, but unwarranted.
