I found competition through the roof, emotional pricing level's, and unsustainable growth rates.

Sometimes the listing realtors will list below market so they can get emotional buyers into a "bidding war".

Some are data driven and profit driven, others are emotionally driven and have grand visions of great appreciation through long-term holds.

Solid cap. rate on the property and was eager to see the deal through (never be an emotional buyer, I didn't follow my logic).

Money is not emotional, it is just money and money loves company.  

I’ve looked into making a PM company, I could easily build one, but fixing something and dealing with emotions is not what i want to do, building something is.

Using just a regular one won't understand why your offer is so low, and won't understand that its more about the numbers than the "emotional" value

I have seen so many make emotional decisions and inaccurately assess things based on their own personal standards/perspectives.

That'll serve you well if you can couple it with an obsessive work ethic and discipline to live below your means. 

People always want to save money by self managing, but just take a look at these boards- almost every tenant issue here, financial, emotional or otherwise, is due to an amatuer trying to self manage.
