Don't get attached to a deal and keep emotion out.

Losing tens, and sometimes 6 figures, worth of value can hurt generational wealth.I always like to ask questions before getting emotional just to ensure there wasn't something I missed on my end.

You cannot bring emotion into the transaction.

Probably better just to treat it like a business, no emotion, just know what your lease says and what your business policies are and say something like "Sorry that's against our business policy" or "Sorry that's against the lease that we both agreed to when you moved in". 

So even though I've gotten out of what I consider to be my longtime victim mindset which is a huge step forward, I'm not yet who I'm trying to become if that makes sense and that takes time.I just thought it might be interesting to hear from others about how you dealt with these issues in your own careers and what practices helped you in separating emotionally and keeping separate from naysayers and people who feel you should be a specific type of person. 

Investors don't have emotion when buying property.

You would need either an emotional reason to sell (like me- I decided I don't have time to be running Airbnbs), or you have a strong negative view of your market and want to cash out, or you would need to be in a market with very low cash flow (where you would eventually hit your Debt to Income limit, capping the amount of total real estate debt you can have).

It made me a little sick to know that the seller picked this thing up for 100K less only about 6 months before i bought it but I purchased anyway because if Ive learned anything as an investor it is to run by numbers and not emotions.

NO emotions here, strictly math.By pure happenstance, we ran into a different property that seems to make sense financially, but is a little more scary then we thought we were ready for.Local to us, a commercial/residential building is for sale. 4 store fronts street level, 2 apartments upstairs, and 1 large unit upstairs that needs a little rehab to be leased out, as it was occupied on and off by the owners kids for many years.The 4 retail units, and the 2 residentials are all spoken for with good leasing history.

Its fair to say the house was in distress so we basically made an emotional decision as we wanted the land thinking a house you can Always fix.
