Or you take the risk of sitting on the property much longer which we all know is a huge negative to you and perception in the market about the property and that will drive offers down or force you to lower your price to get more qualified offers.We're about to put our residence on the market valued at $460K with 100% equity and all we need to do  and is what I would do on any property I sold is make sure the paint is great and clean on every wall, paint the baseboards and door casings and if the carpet is in good shape, have them professionally cleaned.

The rest of the country thinks we are nuts - and at times, I agree :)  I think the biggest mis-perception for New Yorkers living here is that uptown and the boroughs are not NYC.  

I do get discouraged as I wish I was popping off deals like it seems others do (and notice I said it seems-  it's a perception that I know is not reality - this business takes work and hustle) but I also know that it will all come in due time and experience.  

One way to side step a lot of this is to up the minimum stay to a month and in essence airbnb just becomes a more sophisticated craigslist in theory, connecting users to each other who are looking for and have available month to month occupancies. 

What's been your experience with buyers' perceptions. 

Newbies and Gurus will always damage the perception of wholesaling of most investors but me and my buyers are doing great!

If they are sophisticated enough to do an owner finance deal, then they sure as heck shouldn't be basing the value of the property on the prospective interest payments they plan on receiving.

@Derek Robinson you can invest in Multifamily syndications if you are an accredited investor because most of the syndicators accept only accredited investors but some do take sophisticated investors if you are not an accredited investor and you can sit and see the money being directly deposited to your account and also you can reap the benefit of cost segregation and accelerated depreciation and wash off your other passive income with paper loss in apartment investment.

It is slghtly more sophisticated than what was described above, but you would use a Land Trust to own each property and the Land Trust would in turn be owned by an individual Series of your Wyoming Series LLC.

Also the sophistication level of smaller residential property investors is not at the level that you could count on their calculations of a cap rate if they chose to do so, Much better to look at GRM of similar properties.
