I actually got caught up in the creative finance bubble of trying to lock up properties way over their value just because it had creative terms not realizing that if you were to buy a property at 120% of its value you will never be able to refi or sell without paying out of pocket.

Once someone has paid, what to them is a good deal of money, and invested a good deal of time, and become emotionally involved with a particular mentor and his program, they’ll fight like hell to defend it.  

Unless you wait for the next tech/ICO bubble, during which you could sell anything.  

For a simple reason, we have emotions.

There is also an emotional side to owning a rental that landlords are subjected to.

If your expert determines otherwise, then maybe you have a case that its a bubble gum/bandaid repair and treat it accordingly asking for a proper repair.

If you have someone in MN you trust to manage the place that is one thing, if you don't it kind of answers the question (not that you couldn't find one).Renting out homes which you are emotional attached to can be quite difficult when tenants trash them (which will eventually happen).Best wishes

Having a strong understanding of your "walk away" price (maximum you're willing to pay) gives you leverage and prevents emotional decisions. 

Then you can make the appropriate moves when the wind is more at your back and there is less emotional involvement in your decision making.
