I know better than to get emotionally involved and thank you for keeping me on the straight and narrow.

In NYC decisions are made based on business/economic terms, rather then the emotion of many on these forums.

What you are missing and what may possibly trip you up is the fact that you are emotionally vested in the property.

It is true, lots of people want way too much money for their house because they are attached emotionally to it...

Since homes not sold between investors are often bought or sold based on emotion, you must keep that in mind. 

Despite what you may think, not every tenant needs to feel an emotional attachment to their new home. 

Do you have a good w-2 where the temporary neg cf doesn't matter?  

I don't like to deal with emotions of a rental, nor deal with a snail system of government (and believe me, i know, they compose of 90% of my business as my client), on a uber tenant friendly state, where eviction takes at least 6 months with the help of $100 cockroach eviction lawyers.

There's really no emotion there, it's just a numbers game.

Dave Foster when you say it will be short term financing, are you referring to temporary financing in order to hold the new property, such as an interest only loan?
