(You can always include, “with full price offer” so there is room to pull it if they try negotiating too hard) Practical incentives:  credit for insurance, closing costs, buy down on interest, to even making the first *blank* number of mtg payments (with full price offers is a powerful statement while still instilling the emotional response.  

Thanks for the great post. it is hard not to get emotionally involved in a decision and try to decide if the red flags you see are deal breakers or not.

I obviously chose Rich Dad Poor Dad, and she chose one about emotional health (which, admittedly, was a necessary growth area for me at the time and still today). 

There's also tax lien investing but that requires more paperwork and emotional labor, but you're getting interest in the 20-25% range with the potential to acquire a home at below foreclosure prices.

What is dangerous is to drift into the hype and make emotional decisions based on the market behavior rather than what your numbers are saying.

"Analysis paralysis" is an emotional response (fear) to information.

For example, my understanding is that you could go get a database of recently divorced single women and go try to buy their houses for way under market while they are in emotional distress.

You're looking at this emotionally thinking that if you "cut and run" you gave up. 

Only advise I would say to you with your market on fire is stay patient, dont get emotional and stay with in your investing strategie.

I hope they may be at some point because I like the idea of reducing or eliminating a personal bill but it has to make not only emotional sense but financial as well.
