Some I recommend in addition to Wale's suggestions:- Start with Why by Simon Sinek- Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill- ABCs of Success by Bob Proctor- Emotional Intelligence by Daniel Goleman- Thinking, fast and Slow by Daniel KahnemanGood luck!

But if you can manage your emotions and have lots of money for things that pop up.

If the ARV was $1m and you could get it for cheap, it would be interesting to do with a money partner, but I think you are signing up for an overhaul when you should just be looking for something different, without the history and emotional attachment that might make you make a bad decision on a bad propertyl.

Take the emotion out if it. 

Also, put something in writing so you can defer to it versus trying to handle emotional conversations with family. 

The emotional buyers do not want to share walls or deal with tenants, they want a big single family home to nest and make babies in. 

Buying your first property can be emotional growth process; you have to get comfortable with being a little uncomfortable sometimes..PS - you killing the deal is causing real financial damage to the seller, they have to go back to market and look like damaged goods now.

Do you have the experience necessary to keep yourself on track while your emotions are running high because this entire situation is new to you?

This whole process has been emotionally draining, frustrating, and very... educational.

I fully understand the issues with the Fed's monetary policy and the real concerns about inflation, but this market seems to be running on emotions instead of any type of sound financial decision making.
