I trust my numbers and try to not get caught up in the emotion.

My luck is based on being first and therefore demonstrating I will close asap no hiccups, having a great realtor (listing agent is not tech saavy and my realtor knew how to work with him), and just plain emotional appeal (I will be living in it, it will not be run by a bad name property management company with an owner that will never see the place). 

Not emotional - just as an investment.

You can't get emotional about sunk time into deals that didn't come to fruition.

The best I would say is to verify your numbers, keep emotion out of it and offer what works best for you.

This is one of those stories that produces emotional responses.

I know, there’s lots of emotion attached to first homes, but that will keep you poor.

Make sure to know your numbers and don't let your emotions take over your decisions. 

When it comes to emotions, I think it would be more important to connect with him emotionally and then come out with numbers that will make sense to him and to you.Either way this definitely doesn't look like a bad deal, especially if you are comfortable with the area and your experience with your other property.RE boils down to numbers.

I want to keep all emotions out so thats why I am turning to you guys for unbiased feed back on what you would if you were in my shoes.Thanks again,M
