That takes a little bit of the emotion out of it, I think

I did go pretty deep into some emotional and pain and suffering issues from my past that made me who I am today, so I hope that stuff resonates with others out there and provides some inspiration that nothing can hold you back! 

The show, combined with books from this site, have helped me gain so much confidence that now as I hunt for my first deal I feel that I have patience, perspective, and knowledge that I would not have otherwise had - and it is going to help me find the RIGHT deal (you know the one where the numbers work instead of using emotion to make the decision, thank you David Greene.) 

RE isn't prone to the same emotional whims the stock market goes through.

I think you may be allowing the emotion of getting your first deal done cloud your thinking. 

Emotionally is certainly only a question you can answer.Best of luck to both you and your friend.

We therefore need a professional in the Cleveland area used to working 1) with people looking for buying an investment property and not a primary residence (emotion vs numbers) 2) people who even if they're working hard to understand the city's geography don't know the area like the back of their hand and need guidance and insight of an insider, who need someone who pro-activily suggests potential interesting neighborhoods that make sense for the project and doesn't wait for the buyer to ask what about here?

No emotion at all 

@Scott Jensen thanks for reply.I’m not sure exactly how I got to the idea, about a month ago my plan was just to drop the money into betterment.com and hope it would double.So this is an inheritance I’ve received so emotionally I started reading www.amazon.com/dp/160860330X/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_bH-xEbFB4WPQSAbout how to kind of handle the experience.

I'm also trying to keep my emotions in check.
