Safety/Crime - People and businesses will not move to cities perceived as unsafe.

Is this kind of thing perceived as sketchy?

And how your offer will be perceived!

@Adam Dylik,Unfortunately, when reading someone else's responses, we tend to hear the tone or attitude that we perceive and not the one that was meant.

FHA definition of  a family member is defined as follows, regardless of actual or perceived sexual orientation, gender identity, or legal marital status:• child, parent, or grandparent;o a child is defined as a son, stepson, daughter, or stepdaughter;o a parent or grandparent includes a step-parent/grandparent or fosterparent/grandparent;• spouse or domestic partner;• legally adopted son or daughter, including a child who is placed with the Borrower by anauthorized agency for legal adoption;• foster child;• brother, stepbrother;• sister, stepsister;• uncle;• aunt; or• son-in-law, daughter-in-law, father-in-law, mother-in-law, brother-in-law, or sister-in-lawof the BorrowerTwo that relative is equally obligated with you on that loan.

That's a really good level of return, on a risk-adjusted basis given my perceived-risk level of the rental market, and I maybe spent 10 minutes looking these up, not even looking for a good deal. 

I am open to going out of state but am cautious since some unscrupulous agents have attempted to take advantage of me and my perceived lack of local market knowledge.  

Think of it like the mall, where you're more or less free to act reasonably but security can kick you out if you're creating something they perceive as a problem. 

Have you ever intentionally made less money on a deal than you could have, so as not to be (or be perceived as) greedy?  

I am not saying that is the case with you, but if you have never done a deal, that could be how they perceive you.
