Emotions Cloud Judgment<\/strong><br data-start=\"4633\" data-end=\"4636\" \/>Most new investors get too attached to the outcome. You want the deal so bad that you start ignoring red flags, overpaying, or giving in during negotiations. This is deadly, especially in\u00a0<strong data-start=\"4824\" data-end=\"4846\">creative financing<\/strong>\u00a0deals like SubTo or seller carrybacks.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"\" style=\"caret-color: #000000; color: #000000;\" data-start=\"4603\" data-end=\"4885\">\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"\" style=\"caret-color: #000000; color: #000000;\" data-start=\"4887\" data-end=\"5102\"><strong data-start=\"4887\" data-end=\"4912\">2.
