I have had them simply tell me they had no clue how they got to where they are at.I have had others that lied to spouse and had gambling problems.. come knock on the door after I bought it at the court house steps and the spouse was unaware the house was even in foreclosure and they just lost it.. 3 attempted suicides after buying at courthouse steps one successful  its a very emotional side of the business no doubt.. but nothing has changed from what you are experiencing today and what has been ( at least my experience) over the last 40 years dealing with NODs and court house steps.

It was a hard decision for me because I have some emotional attachment and the interest rate is so good on it.

I’m definitely drawn to the balance between hospitality and investment returns in STRs, and I’m trying to stay focused on learning without falling into data paralysis or getting emotionally attached to locations because someone else made it work. 

If the numbers don't work with these conservative assumptions, reconsider the deal—many first-time investors get emotionally attached to "finally owning" and ignore cash flow reality.

Don’t hesitate to seek professional advice for financial planning or even emotional support if things feel too heavy.
