Because those were the issues they would most likely have with me.A good deal of the time, it's not about the management, but the owner's perceptions of management and the owner's expectations of what should be done. 

There is always a perception regarding appearance. 

After the crop is done, you rip everything out and start again in the fall.There's sort of a perception that farming is this idyllic activity.  

I am so happy to be an American and not have to deal with the cultural and societal pressures that they have to deal with on a day-to-day basis.  

Its all about perception anyway though and if people are nervous about crime, that's what matters.

I just often see folks in my community and here on BP that have awful perceptions of the program or the people on it, and when they are based on erroneous information or a misunderstanding of what the program will or will not provide the tenants.

This is my perception of those issues so far.

The age and condition of the collateral can be an issue, the perception of management as well as the market.

I don't think I have ever met family or friends of another I'd deal with as some way to vet them and I have never taken some young'n to any family dinner, that's just not business like.Now, you said "elderly", I see you're a young guy in your avatar, your perception of his age may be different than mine, elderly to me is in his 80s, not 60s.

How do you deal with family or friends perception that if you own an investment property you "must be rich" mentality.
