Account Closedyou have  to much emotion man that’s the problem.

Look more carefully for emotional issues as when they realize that they will NEVER qualify for a loan you and your house will bear the brunt of their loss.7. 

You also have some emotion involved with a live in flip that needs accounted for since you would be living there so that could give one property a one up on another besides for purely the numbers, if it would be a better living situation for you and your wife.

@Darian Norris1 more vote for Never Split The Difference.Crucial Conversations as wellI really think How To Win Friends And Influence People helps tooThe last two are less about "negotiation" more about how to notice when emotions are getting high and what to do in those situations (Crucial Conversations), and just how to treat people and "make them like you" for lack of a better term (How To Win Friends and Influence People).

Wanting to put a whole new roof on right now is strictly an emotional decision not a smart business one.

Having a parent in ICU, on life support, or comfort care/ hospice is emotionally exhausting, so I am guessing son may not be at his best. .

A benefit would be that you are not as emotional attached to what you would be doing since you won’t be living there.  

And if provokes emotion every time :)Bullet #1: Just because it's typical doesn't mean that is how it has to go down, what kind of negotiator are you if you're already giving up cash before you even have a buyer.Bullet #2: The reason those houses went under contract is that they were on the MLS.

This was our first deal and we were too emotionally attached to it and the return we were looking for.
