We are staying focused on the numbers and not getting too emotionally attached to the properties.A huge thank you to all those involved in the podcasts and the guests. 

After the fact wrangling is not going to do a lot for you, financially or, ultimately, emotionally.

I'd be sitting on the sidelines forever and fight that almost there feeling which would likely wear down the logical approach and let the emotional response kick in heavier. 

And this leads to less disciplined assumptions, maybe going into markets you aren't familiar with, going higher leverage to get more deals done.

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

Saying they overloaded it points a blame emotion on the tenant, would be easier to say: in our move in instructions we wrote- don't wash rugs, blankets, heavy items.

My advice would be to not buy with any emotion. 

That's getting to a dangerous leverage point by all measure in stocks, a very dangerous point because the stock market has "flash-crash"'s all the time, things move on emotion and there is entire industry built to profit on such moves and they WANT those moves. 

Debt reduction also has many philosophies and it's okay to choose emotion over the academic arbitrage, it's your life and your choice.  

I would add that it is important to not become emotional in the process of buying and selling.
