Are you getting emotionally vested in this deal?

They were true but maybe a little sappy to speak to the sellers emotions more than their money-centered brains.

We have not had the emotional difficulty with tenants we have placed (although we have only been landlords for 20 months). 

I was emotional and asked the property manager to let the old owner stay in Nov 2017 .

I did the emotional thing and offered 360.. 360 would have worked but not been great.

Weakened structural integrity, which water can eventually cause, is really the only pressing concern. 

Bought from MOTIVATED Sellers, NOT non-motivated ones, who you may end up paying a PREMIUM to buy from.My basic premise is: as soon as EMOTIONS get involved in "needing" THAT primary, too much WILL be paid!

@Russell BrazilI know I'm not the sharpest tool and can get too emotional but this type of behavior from realtors and mortgage brokers is completely uncalled for. 

Now that all said I have helped a few investors reach that 20 to 30k a month in income.. but its what they do its all they do its a 10 hour a day 5 day a week job for them to keep it all going and consistent. if your bound and determined to do this with cash flow real estate then  I think you need to jump right into multi family .. but again like others have said you need to buy quality you buy low end multi family and it could break you financially and emotionally.

My mentors here in Miami have told me to not overleverage myself in case acts of god occur (another crash, etc.)I've paid off my house due to emotional reasons.
