I feel as though I know exactly what I want out of a deal but not sure where to take that first step.Nonetheless, the emotions I'm experiencing almost ensures me that I'm moving in the right direction.I would love to hear the communities experiences, stories, and advice.Thanks,Deane

I realize the emotion behind this but the way I see it, I’d rather try to help the homeowner by getting them out of their situation rather than them losing their home, being forced out to start all over again with nothing and ruining their credit in the process.

I thought you were all about no emotions, but here you are talking about what makes a landlord feel better. (; Just poking fun.

Real estate can be incredibly emotional, so having a background in psych nursing helps me handle a lot of the day to day "crises" that arise. 

@Jalen Chanthaboury I think collage gets a bad wrap these days and though I certainly don’t think you have to have a collage degree to be successful in 2019 and a collage Degree should not be a substitute for continuing your financial and emotional education out side of school; that being said there are benefits and I certainly would not say that it hurts or holds you back in any way.

This helps with the emotional ups and downs, you'll experience when getting a house hack. 

(Take it from someone who has learned by putting their foot in their mouth in the past acting out of emotion and truly regretting it even though it probably didn't mean much to the person I was speaking to.)I think that referrals from other investors are a great starting point to find someone who you might mesh well with.

If anyone else is going to one of these choir camps, stop, Google your instructor, find reviews about them, look them up in the IMDB, research them, ask others about them, LISTEN TO YOUR INSTINCT, and don't get sucked in by hype/emotion.

My wife grew up in this house and has an emotional attachment.  

I do not have any emotional attachment to any of my properties in any location..For me, if the numbers make sense, and other variables are good, am on.Anyone, a barber or teacher or your chiropractor can invest in RE even if they know 'nothing' about RE as long as they have proper guidance from an experienced investor, they should be ok.
