To the guys who won't follow through with the final part of the eviction process, you have serious psychological issues about confrontation.You have an order for eviction, you follow it through.

I would be willing to pitch in with the renter (as $39 for my market is psychologically $4 more than the norm). 

I find that psychologically people tend to treat something they pay for much better than something they get for free.2.

But since I myself have never rented, I am having difficulty getting past the psychology of everything.

But, it is kind of a weird dynamic that after getting a great deal for years, tenants will get angry at the landlord who has been so good to them, for asking for what they should have been getting anyway.I find the psychology interesting.

I just find the psychology fascinating.It's like listening to a woman say how her husband only hits her because he is going through a hard time, but he's really a great guy.  

I’m definitely nursing some psychological short term rental wounds, but it’s still worth it.You make more money most of the time with Airbnb and you just have to be willing to accept and manage the risks that are associated with it.

On the other hand I know this is my path to financial "freedom".What are financial/psychological techniques that you all use to keep a low stress level?

Which is why I also tried mixing up the psychology of it, in some of the letters I mentioned how "I noticed it was in pre-foreclosure, and was wondering if me buying it off you would help you before the bank gets involved, would be mutually beneficial" type of thing (just a example not word for word what I said).

It psychologically sucks doing things this way but you are essentially just investing in the house over and over gain and saving interest costs along the way.
