It will make a significant difference in Time, Money and your overall perception of investing.

Account Closed Each investor's perception of a deal is different based on their current position and future goals.

I don't think the magnitude will be the same, but to a large degree it's perception that counts.

Bad press + Bad charma = No for MeEven though it is technically by the book so to speak, politics and public perception could turn a great deal in to a great nightmare.

It is very easy for investors to only see what they want to see and as such can simply ignore the realities of the cost of investing...........Look See I made another $500 in my property investment by throwing cash at it......NOPE.Investing is never about perception it is about reality.

I have never wholesaled my self, but my perception is it's pretty challenging. 

Just wants to see if others' experiences lines up with my perception of them.

It has not changed much to investors perception that technology is desirable even to this date.Real estate public Companies Z RdfnRLGY * Type Internet Tech Discount tech Traditional Year Revenue($)$1.08 billions$0.37 billions$5.81 billionsGross Profit($) $0.99 billions$ 0.11 billions$1.32 billions Net Income($)(-94 millions)(-15 millions)$213 millionsBook Value / share$14.05 $21.42$19.89Agents- 272,000Stock Price (Mar 2, 2018)$49.21$21.43$19.89IPO year 2011 2017 2012 *Better Homes, C21, ERA, Coldwell, Southeby's, Zip etcOne can compare a traditional company like Realogy Holdings(RLGY*) with some technology based public companies.

Then again, crappy housing, low resident expectations and a high rent/cost ratio are a REI's dream - lol.I think much of what makes an area "wonderful" is the perception of the people who live there.

@Patrice Boenzi I have the same perception of no excuses and keep pushing forward.
