No algorithms are able to predict markets, full of human emotions ... 

so 2.7% of the population has now been priced out on top of the 61% of renters who already can't afford a home purchase. the last few years have been so strange to me. while I know so many are struggling I've never been more financially secure, disciplined, and ready to buy property.

The question you posted is very helpful tool to help you save your time , money and emotions.

Like any other group built on emotion, they are not analytical or fact based by nature.

As much as my home comes with the emotional attachment of all the work I have done, I do my best to look at it as a tangible asset and how I can best utilize the equity for growth.

Add to that unrealistic (maybe not since they seem to be getting them) expectations from sellers and it's a recipe for disaster for a disciplined investor.But this is where your due diligence periods have to work for you. 

However, even though the financial aspect of unruly guests were covered, it was the emotional aspect that I wasn't prepared for.

I am going through things with them that I went through with my first property and I really forgot how emotional and frustrating it is!

I am no longer emotionally tied to this house because of all the work. 

I seconded that emotion.
