It has been somewhat of an emotional roller-coaster ride.

It had been capped at $1 million (effectively $1.1 million), and our state doesn’t have any shortage of houses worth over $1 million.At the end of the day, home buyers are going to purchase emotionally (based on how they feel about the house), rather than as an investment where they run all the numbers.

To be clear that is not an emotional decision for me. 

Then they go for an emotional support animal .

However, look at minimum wage during that time period and it helps to put the values into perspective as apposed to a simple emotional reaction to the number.

Unless you get emotional...in which case you will be guaranteed to lose a lot more than just that "deal"."

The "missed opportunity" cost to an investment...paying $12K for rent...all of it pales in comparison to the cost of a canceled wedding or divorce because your were emotionally MIA from your fiance to focus on finding your first duplex...

Lowering the List Price (I know this is a basic one, but buying is emotional and a lower price could re-ignite interest).As for the loan, you should be able to find another lender who would be glad to REFi you out so far the property appraises at the 260-270k value. 

For example property managers get a 1/2-1 months fee anytime they place a tenant, they collect a fee each month (and SOME even collect this fee when the unit isn't rented) this structure can create an incentive to churn tenants rather than to work with a tenant having a temporary issue.

If I was doing all these on every unit with tenants still living in there, do I have to move them out temporary?
