I'm a retired investor and every week I coach younger people here in Charlotte how to navigate step by step thru their real estate dreams.It's very emotionally rewarding to me : )

This was of course a temporary arrangement with my realtor just so we could get the HOA set up and close the sale of the property.

So taking it in the emotional shorts is a great learning lesson.

Going to dinner with people and not raising rent because you liked them, is letting emotional friendships get in the way of business relationships. 

The week of closing, my employer informed me they had to cancel my temporary contract and I either had to work in the out-of-state office permanently or be laid off.

I’m being very careful to not fall in love with any deals or get emotional and I’ve been sticking to my criteria and so far I have barely come up with any possible investments.

Do not make any emotional decisions.

Some people are getting hung up on their emotional attachment to the drug.

I'll still post a 5-Day Pay or Quit notice at my convenience (as long as it is at least 5 business days before I expect her payment) but, if I post it on the earlier side and it will be "up" before the date we discussed, I'll put an extra note that no action will be taken as long as the full past due payment of XYZ is made by "Q" date.With all that said, this was supposed to be a temporary situation. 

This is a emotionally driven market.
