There can be substantial transfer costs and taxes involved.We're not even dealing with the issues of protected classes, emotional people, pre-foreclosures, elderly and minorities.

Whether it’s dealing with difficult tenants, endless paperwork, chasing contractors, or the emotional rollercoaster of deals falling apart at the last minute, there’s always something that makes you question your sanity.Real estate also isn’t a get-rich-quick scheme.

It's sad this post has struck such an emotional chord with you. lol.

This buyer pool will transact due to emotional or lifestyle decisions, not solely influenced by financial decisions & its easier to absorb the higher cost of building these higher price point homes.Many who already purchased their starter home are likely going to be remaining in that house longer than they first expected.

Unsurprisingly though, Trump hasn't sued any of the authors either.I'm continually amazed that so many people who appear to be intelligent continue to support a man who is clearly "mad" both emotionally and psychologically. 

When you let emotion enter into it, that's when you lose $, so ingore the high-standards that your parents have and seek properties that cash flow positively and have a potential for appreciation.

Keep emotions out of it. 

You control the conversation, not them.Bottom line: Maintain control, play the long game, and don’t let emotions dictate strategy.

Self management works if you are local and can separate emotion from business.

The tenant lost but that wasn't any consolation for the worry, stress, and emotions they put them through.
