I agree with the sentiment that different areas of Norwood have different personalities.

People put way too much sentimental value to things especially houses.

I understand that sentiment to an extent.

You can tell from my earlier post I agree with his sentiment and I would give his view extra credence because he knows the property (versus I only knew the numbers).I suggest if you can still get out of the deal without super harsh consequences that you consider doing so. 

Jon - my sentiments exactly and thank you for your input. i am ok with $100/mo cash flow tops, and counting on tenant's equity buy down over time.

REO's are good for me because my offers don't offend a family/owner...it goes to Bank officials who only care about their numbers...no sentimental attachments...

I don't want to sell it because it has sentimental value to them; it was their first and only home.Any advice on how to do this?  

I would sell, however I'm in the middle of construction, and I have sentimental value to the property, also it's in a great location.  

Account ClosedI have to agree with everyone sentiment regarding the area. 

I agree with the sentiment on this thread in response to your post.You can't be afraid to move or you will never move, the time will NEVER be right for the cynic or unreasonably cautious.
