There are a lot of potential difficulties in this deal, not the least of which is your seller is a friend of a friend, and she is in a very unstable emotional state.

I look forward to diving in deeper to the community by becoming a member.

If they can't talk shop with me I at least have an emotional spiritual bond with them that promotes my positive attitude and/or motivate/inspire me to be a better person.The person who is being critical of your investing methods.

Accounting/Audit firms can only verify if all the numbers match but they can't dig deeper then that.

It was also surprisingly emotional, since Robert finds a way to get everyone to dig deep into what they really want for the year.

I know that I shouldn't get emotionally attached to the property but I'm fairly new to REI.

I'll dig deeper into the real estate bits and see what I can turn up.

Thank you to the three of you for that welcome.I did complete my profile page before making my first post and will add a pic when I am comfortable doing so.As stated in my intro, I have no plans or direction, other than to learn and not make decisions based on emotion, and I plan to start with Mehran's link right now... :-)

You sell on emotion!

If you use emotion and impulsiveness, you're not likely doing the due diligence you need to or sticking to your numbers.
