Not enough to purchase a second home.Current mortgage is $956/mo...rental income is $740/moThank you for listening to my emotional dilemma.Meg

I have had to start over twice through divorce so I understand the emotional and financial pain.  

They are not emotional.

These are some of the biggies:1.Divorced – Often 2 parties must agree, distress sale, “don’t wanters”, bad memories2.Death – Executor, quick sale, high emotions, be considerate, tactful, caring3.Relocation – quick sale, quick closing4.Downsizing, “empty nesters” – maybe will agree to owner finance?

I spend my whole day now looking at houses on Zillow, Hud and Fannie Mae to make offers on, I think I'm messing up because a) a deal hasn't been done and b)there are plenty of houses but I think I'm getting my emotions personally involved and sometimes I look at a picture and saw eww, who would buy that piece of crap?

You always make it clear that emotions have no part in your vision of life. 

No place for emotions in business.It is unfortunate you sunk money into a build on family land.

@Lucas Carl Good thing for you for holding your tongue and not feeding into your emotions by replying to her review.

I leave other emotions at the door.

Try to leave the emotions out of it.
