There might be some value in putting dollars toward SFR's in certain areas - especially if you can get military or gov't tenants.From what I've seen, we are already feeling the effects of a weakening market, but it may be too soon to tell.https://wtop.com/business-finance/2018/10/northern-virginias-housing-market-is-showing-signs-of-fatigue/

Some of the best advise I've heard is to take the emotion out of real estate.

Many times home owners have an inflated value in their heads due to emotional attachment to the property.

Fear False evidence appearing real You ran the numbers on the income so don’t be scared fear comes from not knowing and you reasonably know what to expect based on numbers not emotions .

To me, it's an investment, think of your tenant as your client and when times get tough give them the emotional incentive to want to keep paying rent/be extra communicative and transparent.

It is an investment, no doubt, but it is ok to be emotional about your own house and where you will raise your family.

It was more emotional equity that built good will and helped the stick with us through the ins and outs of the 1031 escrow process.

Also based on advise and on my notes taken from BP Books and BP articles: - All cash offers are stronger - Offer to close faster than other offers - If applicable Give two offers, as the seller could compare your offers rather than their asking price - Offer more earnest money - Provide pre-Aproval letter - Stick to your numbers don’t let emotions take over you - Ask the seller what their lowest price is and go lower - Simply Ask is that the best you can do ?

I want to push through and I hope I'm done with the problems soon, however I was wondering if anyone had a similar experience, how you dealt with it, mentally, physically and emotionally.

Should they evict/not renew because of their pride/emotions?
