Social media and HGTV has warped perceptions of how far your 50K a year takes you.

As an owner it creates the perception that my properties are in high demand.

There is a perception that these tenants are harder to manage, when in reality they are just like every other tenant pool.

In researching my submarket, one dilemma I've encountered is a perception of higher-than-average crime.

Even if you opt to not go with a national chain like ADT, Comcast or AT&T and opt for a local company, I wouldn't select SimpliSafe (or Vivent for that matter, but thats a whole other post).As for tenants thinking that the house is unsafe and needs an alarm, thats not the perception.

Or they will probably be hostile from the perception that you didn't reciprocate.

That's a great problem to have- it can help change your perception and increase the opportunities you come across in the long run.  

Our culture is responding to emotions, feelings, and perceptions over the rule of law.
