What has kept me going is being emotionally committed to my WHY.Next month I am buying a 556 unit deal that is 2 miles from a 240 unit deal I own.

I'm not just talking about emotional buying, but also, it's hard to know (for example with Zillow's zestimates) what the inside of a house feels like and/or if there have been unpermitted updates etc. 

I’m dealing with this now and the previous owner says he just wants to be done with the property and “emotionally can’t bring himself to sign a quit claim”

Come up with your target metrics that will make your investment worthwhile to eliminate any emotion you may have in a future investment.

and of course a lot of emotion for the buyer.. they paid for home inspection and appraisals etc.. and day before closing got cold feet and wanted their EM back.. at that point I said no.. but that's how we resolved it.. plus I don't want them claiming my broker did something wrong.. and put them through that either..  

Emotional Support Animals are 98% a scam.

You cant get emotional because "you would never cause that type of damage" ...4 years is a long time.

Take the emotion out and be critical.

I want a brand, an image people will recognize around the city.I looked into marketing research to determine the best colors for this custom-made sign, but I wanted to tap the BP community for their opinions.From brandingstrategyinsider.com, I found some interesting research on colors and the emotions and qualities associated with them:Red –excitement, strength, sex, passion, speed, danger.Blue –(listed as the most popular color) trust, reliability, belonging, coolness.Yellow –warmth, sunshine, cheer, happinessOrange — playfulness, warmth, vibrantGreen — nature, fresh, cool, growth, abundancePurple –royal, spirituality, dignityPink — soft, sweet, nurture, securityWhite –pure, virginal, clean, youthful, mild.Black –sophistication, elegant, seductive, mysteryGold — prestige, expensiveSilver — prestige, cold, scientificI would like to use black and yellow, but not sure if anyone had experience in this area.Has anyone intentionally picked certain sign colors to receive more phone calls?

I would let her stay.Enjoy the decrease in credit risk offered by government now assuming the payor position.Good tenants offer value beyond their cashflow.The certainty they provide, in a business otherwise full of gotchas, let's one focus attention on higher value opportunities in business.Lastly, judging from thoughtful advice you offer of a personal nature on BP podcasts, I suspect asking her to leave will eat at you karmically.Stand in front of a mirror and imagine telling your favorite math teacher that you've grown up to be the kind of person who is so successful that you ask old lady tenants to leave after six years of great tenancy because their finances weakened to the point that they needed section 8 assistance.It is a business but there is room in it to be thoughtful broadly in the way that Bruce and Michelle Fischer approach it.The contribution you make to your tenant and your community by letting her stay will be paid forward to you in some other way in the future.I would let her stay.
