It is very hard to keep emotions out of it.

What I have seen over and over again, in various scenarios somewhat similar to yours, is that an investor hopes against the odds that the situation will somehow get resolved amicably, meanwhile continues to plunge more money into the deal trying to keep it afloat all by himself, and the only result is ultimately losing MORE money and taking a harder emotional hit. 

You must keep your emotions out of real estate,  strictly business when it comes to management. 

President Trump authorized temporary $300 payments, but the money is already running out and Congress is deadlocked on what to do next.

I'm evaluating a rental deal in Denver and I'm struggling to balance my emotions and the numbers.

If you tell me you have an emotional support rotweiller, pit bull or snake then my alarms will go up but I can't refuse you based on that (of course).

When you add in the emotional side of it being your moms house, owning with a family member, not a great neighborhood and your first deal it may not be worth it to make this your first one.

I wouldn’t let the temporary conditions affect a good long term investment.

The properties are nothing more than the resting place (temporary) for your cash (in the form of equity). 

Even the smell of brewing coffee or baking cookies have an emotional impact.
