Focus on learning how to evaluate properties, then make decisions based on numbers and not emotions.

It was difficult to come to this decision because it was my first home purchase, both as a homeowner and as an agent so there was some emotional attachment.

They react emotionally in the moment, and usually to their long-term financial detriment. 

Have your ducks in a row. facts and evidence. keep emotion out of it.

But set aside the emotions for a second.

It requires controlling our emotions, listening to the other side, expressing ourselves with clarity and recognizing that all someone can do is move forward from the current circumstances - there is no way to go back into the past and undo the mistake that happened.

Not to be emotionally attached to properties or markets.

If so, they are probably looking at just the numbers and aren't emotionally invested in the place...meaning they might be more open to a fair and well thought out offer based on comps and numbers and such.I also think it's critical to know exactly how much property tax you will be paying since that dramatically impacts cash flow.

There are mixed emotions about this impacting continuity in SFR neighborhoods but it also creates an opportunity depends how you look at it.I’m sure there will be some restriction associated with lot size, parking space etc. but this could be a good thing for investors looking to maximize cash flows in bigger lots.If this gets approved, I’m building a duplex in my other rental (fingers crossed)

Treat is like business and that usually helps remove the emotion attached to it.Hope that makes sense.
