Either these are really obvious scratches or you're getting too emotional about it.The damage is completely cosmetic.

Click HERE if you want to read my recent post on the places I invest out of state and why.Happy to dig into any of these points a bit deeper.

We learned a ton:- How to navigate the Airbnb and VRBO platforms and optimize our listings- How to communicate with guests throughout their booking, stay, and post-stay time periods- How to operate a STR and still be a good neighbor to community members who live nearby year-round- Navigating crises (After one month, we had a frozen / burst pipe and flood affecting all 3 floors while guests were present, which could have been a financial and emotional disaster) Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

However, investors are human and we are subject to emotions.

Anxious buying can lead to overspending, and emotional attachment can cause you to buy with your heart rather than your head.

Emotions will run high in a real estate transaction, but there is profit to be made in real estate and construction.

For those that you get under contract, use the DD period to do your deeper analysis.

Its hard to know without digging deeper into location.

One more tip – people remember stories that trigger their emotions.

Are there any emotional aspects of the home that are highly appealing such as beautiful windows or beautiful old hardwood floors?
