Try to keep emotions out of your decision making.

I also made a promise to myself to never let a tenant get me emotional or upset.

They make mistakes, get emotional, buy or sell at the wrong time or price.You can make more money running a business than you can owning the shares.

Getting an offer in right before a price drop sometimes helps take some psychological pressure off the Seller: they're already emotionally prepped by their agent (if their agent is doing his/her job) that a price drop is coming in a couple of days. 

That is emotion or ego based decision making. 

A property like that would cost more, but maybe the bank would consider the income as part of the approval.I don't think buying a $1.2M house is your best financial move, but it may be your best emotional move for your family.

Leave your emotions what you like as if you would be living in it.

If the property comps out at $500k max, and you are thinking about offering $540k, and you follow this up by saying, "...but I want to close it and buy it", you are making two big mistakes:1 - You're getting emotional about a property2 - You're focus is on getting the property, and not where it should be...on the deal.You don't want properties...you want deals.REI is a simple math problem. 

This becomes an emotional business when Buyers expect a trouble-free and maintenance-free experience because it is labeled a ‘turnkey’.

Does anyone have a form and policy they provide to prospective or current tenants with emotional support animals?
