You are defaming my character and business with such accusations that I might need to consult my attorney as well for libel and slander However since you have never dealt directly with my company I am assuming you might have let your emotions get the best of you.

Some emotional purchasing as well.

Do not get emotionally attracted.

Roofstock does what it does because it's an emotionally neutered environment, where actions are logic based and removed of emotion.

I also don't quite see it as being the same as picking a city to live in - I went through that process in choosing Austin but that was more emotionally driven. 

I've always had this dream of a beach home within walking distance to the beach, so I realize I probably need to back up and look at this more objectively instead of emotionally when it comes to extra wear and tear and higher insurance costs, weather impacts, etc.

Don’t hesitate to seek professional advice for financial planning or even emotional support if things feel too heavy.

The emotional side of me is so angry that they damaged a house I put a lot of work and TLC into, and that between damage and lost rent, basically a year of profits from the house will be wiped out, but the logical side of me thinks I may be throwing good money at bad.

Try and separate emotion as best as you can from the situation.
