Maybe after a few years of flipping and building I can get into the country club and get along well with the good ol boys but until then I may only do what I may do within my control and my ability and to have the perception of being a huckster devalues what I bring to the table based solely on how I got my start or what tech I utilize and that feels wrong.

Burst that perception bubble, and watch those masses of novice exit.

@Jorge Vazquez data is always better than "educated guesses".But, perception is often more powerful than reality:(

Perception & PricingHomes priced slightly below market sometimes get less attention because buyers assume something’s wrong.Pricing at or just above market can actually attract more serious buyers—especially if photos and staging scream “desirable neighborhood home.”4.

Welcome, Blane Sounds like that flip was a tough but valuable lesson ARV on paper and real world perception often don’t line up, and curb appeal really does matter more than we expect.

We closed Mental Hospitals because of the perception, dumb.

If you just patch over damp material, that’s when mold can grow later.That said, from a landlord/owner standpoint, you also have to think about liability and perception.

As far as you being rude, that is really a matter of perception.

I would want to see average household incomes north of $75k/yr to support that rental level and leave people space to eat.d) my perception of a small, cheaply built house in a marginal area is you won't see much appreciation, using you $200k new construction example. 

I have been experiencing and thinking these things but was unsure if it was just my own perception of things.
