People perceive high-quality carpets based on the spongy feel of the pad.The problems I’ve had with low-cost carpets include:Polypropylene (or olefin) carpets wear badly and cannot be cleaned.

This contributes to perceived portfolio stability (from a valuation perspective), less volatility (as measured by standard deviation) and hence, better risk-adjusted returns (when using conventional measures of risk management).

I’d be annoyed as well to receive dumb threats regarding eviction from unorganized PMs which I would perceive as harassment due to their own stupidity.And to a landlord like you, I’d likely ignore you or tell you to kick rocks when I see you just to get you to waste time and money to evict me. 

The higher the perceived risk the higher the yield needs to be to attract an investor.

Clearly that wasn't the intention, but that's how it is being perceived by the sellers.

There is too much room between the perceived value and what the actual market will pay.

I was even thinking 15% to account for the higher perceived risk of investing with someone new like myself. 

The data they mentioned are difficult to verify and they will ghost after the sales, particularly with any perceived negativity and numbers that do not match up with their rosy estimates.

I just got off the phone with a loan officer at US Bank and he said that forbearance will be marked on my account, which is perceived as a negative when applying for the construction loan.

I'd say you're the only one who perceives this as some change in the marketplace, it may be due to your lack of exposure in society on a national basis.
