Never get emotional about it and never let your eagerness to grow and be successful override your criteria.Just my take.

In the future suggest you put some emotional distance between you and your tenants... let them live their lives.  

It’s not an emotional play, it’s business. 

It is financially and morally irresponsible, not to mention emotionally damaging.

Remain disciplined and patient, taking your time to choose the correct offers, carrying out extensive research, and refraining from hurriedly making investments out of desperation.

There are numerous books, podcasts, and online resources available to help you become a more knowledgeable investor.By following these steps and staying disciplined in your approach, you can successfully house hack using your VA loan and build a solid foundation for your real estate investment portfolio.

Part of it is exposure and professional marketing, but it’s also because sellers almost always have an emotional attachment to their properties and think they’re worth more than comps actually support.

Just gotta do the math... but you also should include the lost space rent cost while rehabing and the mental/emotional torture going through the process of rehabing a mobile home. 

Our aim is to leverage the skills and discipline we developed through service to build a successful real estate portfolio.
