Hey Scott, I just use basic psychology honestly.

Misogyny also often operates through sexual harassment, coercion, and psychological techniques aimed at controlling women, and by legally or socially excluding women from full citizenship.

On the one hand, you must be ready - mentally and psychologically.  

(This was more a psychological than an investment decision.)

You then have the psychological advantage of a take away if the seller is reluctant.

You should focus on maintaining your composure psychologically before anything else take precedence.

After a career in abstracts (nursing and psychology) my husband and I have enjoyed the creativity and concreteness of property rehab and LLing.  

However, on the psychological side, the thought of taking that money and using it for something that is new to me (although I am determined and committed) seems terrifying -- maybe just as terrifying as leaving it in the stock/bond market given that retirement is just around the corner.Let's assume, for the sake of discussion, I can be successful at finding a solid deal or two... any words of advice on using money from Solo/self-directed accounts?

Business, Engineering, Psychology, Sociology.

You guys have touched on the psychology effect "pride".
