Keep looking and run the numbers to keep from making an emotional decision.My first one took 2 years to find the perfect property.Be patient.

Don't let your emotions make you lose $150k.

Buyer and Seller markets are more residential and based on emotion. 

I think we are all emotionally vested following you.I have been reading this for 4 yrs myself ;)

Also, hoping it will be easier to refuse to rent to people who claim they have 3 emotional support dogs etc.  

I don’t want to have any emotional connections tied to any investment.

Taking out your emotions and focusing on the tasks at hand are imperative to success in this industry.

No emotion.
