Should not the high rates should communicate, "build more here faster, there's lots of demand."?  

Its sort of a sleazy process from the buyers side, but from the sellers side the motto is "if you don't have 5% of your cars coming back, you aren't selling hard enough". give the car back, it's just a car, NEVER get emotional over a luxury depreciating asset.

Soak in the moment, go celebrate, go withdraw the 1st dollar from that transaction and keep it somewhere...I promise you will want to look back on this moment in the future and reflect back to the emotions you are feeling now...ESPECIALLY when you get that 2a phone call haha!

That is somewhat common, but should have been communicated. outside of that just seems like miscommunication, should be easy enough to call the issuing bank and negotiate or reopen.  

I have a loving and supportive wife who, while she does not fully understand my shift in mindset loves me enough to listen and work with me toward our final goals, the communication I think helped us out, there were several discussions, lol.  

@Bill Haines Since it is more of an emotional purchase, I think the appreciation should be the cherry on the cake and the cake is all the great memories you guys will make in the house. 

If you can stand the tenant being rude and they pay on time and keep the unit up and it’s not too much of a hassle, I would say keep them and opt to formally communicate with them.

The communication aspect of RE investing will the most challenging for me since I have the hardest time getting out of my own way.  

I feel very torn on this subject matter as I personally am an animal lover.. but I'm a CLEAN animal lover and the amount of people who neglect their pets emotionally and physically sickens me.

I think your concerns and communication style is the norm and are expected of agents/buyer relationship.
