To remove the emotion from every deal is something I wish more people would tell beginners.

People are making emotional purchases, not sound investments.Don't give up.

Quote from @Billy Daniel: The lack of contingencies demonstrates an emotional purchase, not a wise one.

Going to dig deeper so this stuff makes more sense and I can make a sound decision on which way to proceed.

Sales prices are at a peak, mortgage rates are double what they were a year ago, many first-time investors cashed out equity in a peak market to pay cash and eat up inventory, and cities/counties are increasing regulation.Keep looking, but be conservative with your numbers so you don't get caught up in the emotions of the market.

Emotions aside, if the numbers work, I’d want to buy it.

Many markets are still seeing emotional purchases at prices that don't make sense.

If growing a business, having reoccurring income, ownership, collaboration on the highest levels with investor friendly agents is something you are interested in I'd love to set time a side to dive a bit deeper.

It's a second set of eyes, they can provide objectivity when you get caught up in emotion, they understand the market, the know contracts and law, have negotiation skills, and more.

This approach would allow me to keep my 3.15% interest rate, show income from the property as a positive contribution to my debt-to-income ratio, and avoid the emotional damage of letting go of the blood, sweat, and tears that have gone into this place.B.
