A new trend discovered by Quicken Loans, and their National Home Price Perception Index, has many homeowners estimating their homes higher than they are actually being appraised at.

The 5.2-point March increase followed a dip in February, which ended the month with a revised reading of 93.8.All five of the components that make up the index increased.Current perceptionsFloridians' perception of their personal financial situation now compared with a year ago ticked up four-tenths of a point, from 88.1 to 88.5.

Liability purpose: Even though SMLLC is taxed as Sole, you are still considered separate from the LLC from the liability protection perceptive.  

Although there was an extended lockdown period, I believe the decisiveness to reopen small businesses such as restaurants ahead of other states substantially helped isolate and limit the economic hardship to tenants and landlords.In a sense, it provided the perception of a light at the end of the tunnel and helped landlords work with tenants on rent payment plans.

If you don't mind, I'll give my 2cents on the matter:I realize that with the greater number of guests/tenants there is a possibility/perception of increased liability risk... 

Also houses gets more value or at least it's my perception.

In my opinion, this perception isn't unique to real estate agents but is common among sales people as a whole. 

Someone losing $100k of their $150k in lifetime retirement savings on a bad operator or simply unlucky market timing is a lot different and becomes a societal problem compared to someone else losing $100k of millions in savings.The SEC does not control our net worth and income...we control that ourselves, but that's not going to be a popular answer in Victim-america. 

There are spectrums, but a truly quantifiable data point is not available for risk, and overall investor outlook can influence the perception of risk, i.e. driving feels safe for most because we do it all the time, yet flying may feel scary because in the rare occurrence that a plane goes down, it is often news around the world.But looking at leverage, a 50% LTV deal may not yield returns that many investors are seeking, even though it might be considered very safe.  

If it has a negative public perception that will get them more money then even better.
