Like others, striking a tone between compassion and business with our tenants in these unsettled times is a thoughtful effort. 

People are taught that they have to go a certain way to acquire the lifestyle they want, including a house (such as using big banks, which many aspiring homeowners can't do), they don't think they can buy a house, they're stuck renting, instead of really looking at their options.I'm kind of on both sides, which is part of my own cognitive dissonance since I am an aspiring investor, but have had a couple of terrible experiences with landlords. 

Anyone over age 35-40 figures out they are part of the 95% of people who live rather typical, predictable lives.Something about that is....unsettling. 

What's a bit unsettling is the fact that my new mortgage payment is increasing by just over $500 so in a sense I'm "poorer" than I was before.My family would've outgrown the current home (the one we'll be renting), and I believe real estate investing is the best way to build wealth, but I wonder if buying a more expensive house and paying PMI was a mistake.If I rent the new property in the next couple of years and nothing changes in current rental rates or home values, I could expect to get $1400/mo, meaning I'd cover the mortgage but be in a bit of trouble if/when expenses were incurred.

. - LTV’s are decreasing (Higher Down Payment)- DCR’s are increasing (Higher Equity in the Property)- Lenders are requiring up to 12 months cash reserves in operating expenses at closing- Interest rates are currently down- Net Worth requirements are increasing- Rate Locking for loans is being pushed back further and further in the closing process causing an unsettling of knowledge on whether the deal will make sense or not2.

This is a bit unsettling as I can only imagine she would not be interested in selling if it was a good deal. 

The runners and screamers are also unsettling, especially when the parents can't control them.)

The main cognitive dissonance contained in the book is where he refers to a "rat race", when in reality it is his message that creates the real rat race.

It's very unsettling, and I feel horrible as this was a young mother...Anyway, another family member (who is also a tenant in the same unit) asked if there was any way to get out of the lease, stating they wouldn't be able to live there anymore given what happened.  

The laws here are best described as unsettled (in my VERY un-legal opinion!!).
