Crazy emotional highs and lows this week, but mostly exciting... 

Yeah, intrigued as well, but as you've mentioned to me before, this is more of an appreciation market and will definitely be collecting data/numbers to prevent any emotional buying. 

When stakes are that high and emotions are all over the place, people want to hire and work with someone they trust.

There is no place in this business for emotions, compassion will only bankrupt you.

(I did end up jumping on a property based on emotion and excitement so I won't do that again...

When it comes to emotionally-charged negotiations heading south, the best path forward is often taking a good step back.

Do try again first though because it could be a temporary issue. ....did not pay the bill.

It was very emotional to say the least and my husband and I were shocked by the news and also inexperienced on how to handle the situation.

I wouldn't rush to pay off anything under 4%, as this is almost free money.if you have high monthly loan payments, relative to your monthly salary you may have trouble finding financing. if your loan payments are lower it may have no effect.remember, this is all a  numbers game. if someone says you always have to pay loans off, that is because they are risk averse and let fear talk. rational investors make decisions based on numbers and facts, not fear and emotion.

Hence my indifference toward the emotional side of her response, however, I do want honesty and clarity in all interactions which is why I was conflicted about this entire situation.The niches I'm focused on are SF for two different businesses I have a partnership in.
