Because it allows them to connect more deeply emotionally and be vulnerable in some ways. 

Rent growth is weakening everywhere, and it's already negative cash flow - what happens if you don't hit the target rents.

@Miranda SimonRemove all emotions when buying real estate.

Keeping houses not bought as renters then using them to rent is a very common mistake, it almost never works out, yet people get emotionally attached to these houses and will go through mental convolutions to rationalize holding them unprofitably.

I see mostly emotional response on this thread. 

In theory if one's risk was constant and they were simply seeking to grow at a sustainable rate in the absence of emotional reasoning do you feel like growth would still be stunted simply from a scale perspective trying to grow that much wealth as quickly?  

How can I wholesale a couple of them to build my cash reserves.. etc, etc.If you are looking at only one deal at a time you will get emotionally attached to that deal ....

Real estate  is definitely an investment strategy where emotions can take over rational thought very quickly.  

I would say one of the hardest parst that needs to be considered is the costs of moving that many people so much as well as the emotional stress on the kids bouncing around schools.

I feel like this would weaken my chances of getting the deal. 2.
