Being nice to a litigious tenant might not save you from a lawsuit, but sometimes the idea of a lawsuit results from the perception that the other party does not care. 

While their perception may or may not be reality, their perception is ultimately what matters because that is who you are marketing your property to.

The concern I would have is that this would be the tip of the iceberg with a continuous litany of issues arising that need attention based on their perception.

The perception and reality of crime in Chicago have existed for a long time. 

The declaration of war on this perception has been declared "you will own NOTHING, and be HAPPY".

@Tim Wieneke I said should not would; and in this case perception is reality, if investors think a property manager is good enough (which they clearly do) why would they pay a 50%+ premium for anything more?

Its nice to see the perception changing. 

HI Ashby,Its probably better to take it from a actual lender who invests than an investor who doesn't lend regularly.With that said, Fannie Mae is currently at 10 financed properties max and Freddie Mac is currently at 6 max.The above refers to 1-4 unit residential properties that you either have been personally obligated on (you're on the mortgage note personally) or that you've taken title to personally (in your own name).There are different limits that you might hear like 4 for conventional, but those are most limits the larger institutions place on borrowers because they either dont like dealing with borrowers who have more properties or perhaps the risk with those borrowers is greater in their perception.

One of the worst things any business person can do is sell something and letting the buyer feel like they overpaid, and that usually is just a matter of their perception of what they got in return for their money.

That buyer did not get a counter.The other thing could be the perception of the VA loan in general.
