Do they do what they say they will.8) Make sure your partner has the same work ethic as you.9) Make sure that you find a partner that can communicate.

Open communication is key to any business.

If the seller is offended then that's their fault for getting emotional in a business transaction.

I am emotionally involved in my current house because of my neighbors.

I have used several title companies and have the following requirements:  1) easy to work with, 2) make me a priority and move the process efficiently, 3) good communication, 4) competitive fees, and 5) mobile close service.If you are military or have someone in the direct family who is/was you might consider One Nation Title (formerly First Republic). 

Then they do a quick conversion to condos in two years and raises the property value.Such buyers are most likely buying on emotions because they are purely looking for a nice home to live (not cash flow), possibly buying in that location because of proximity to family or about to start a family, etc; so they will pay top dollar.  

Public speaking or communication is more my strong suit.With Rocket Mortgage catering to millennials I'm concerned getting and keeping a MLO license may cost more and yield less.I have a school lined up for either career path.

Then join a local REI group and begin using this formula to overcome your fear of the unknown....Definite Goal/Plans + Faith + Emotion + Action  = All Human AccomplishmentFaith = Knowing you can accomplish your goal / Self ConfidenceEmotion = Feeling you can accomplish your goal / objectiveIf you feel that you are deficient in any element, focus on working on that until you feel you're ready to take action.I wish you the best.

Brandt is correct, there is no place in business for emotions, leave your heart at home where it belongs.

At the end of the day make the offer with your numbers, not emotion, and if it gets accepted right on.
