I am aware that this isn't a place to mix emotions with business, which is easier said than done.  

They are sold on emotion, but unfortunately that means you have a false sense of security. 

Flaming is directly insulting another member, flame-baiting is making a comment with the intention of getting a flame as a response, and trolling involves starting arguments or upsetting people by posting inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages with the intent of provoking readers into an emotional response or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion.As far as "cancel folks not cool", some people in the forums sometimes get the impression that it is a democracy here, where you can say anything you want and it has equal value as something someone else says.

@Robert Gunther, seems like you've become emotionally attached to buying this property. 

Maybe hire a property manager to do it and take the emotion out of it. 

PROs: 1) You will learn more about how property management works, which will improve your chances of hiring a good PMC in the future.2) You will save PMC fees3) You'll know your properties better than any PMCCONs:1) You may make costly PMC mistakes: tenant screening, legal, evictions, maintenance, being too nice, not being on top of things2) More time3) You may make emotional decisions insted of business decisions

I appealed to the owners emotions as it had been in the family for many years.

But, if you are competing with other investors and not 'Home Buyers' (more emotional and less numbers driven), then you can stand a chance. 

I got him legitimately ESA verified through my doctor (no scam websites) because I have been diagnosed with multiple emotional disorders which he legitimately helps me with. 

Don't buy on emotion, run the numbers to make sure you can be profitable.
