How do you manage the perception a market has on your house flipping business?

I am currently looking for these titles:I haven't had a lot of luck with Wake County Public Library so I plan on ordering most on Amazon unless someone on here has these titles :-) Best Ever Apartment Syndication Book by Joe Fairless and Theo HicksCommercial Real Estate Investing by Dolf De RoosThe Complete Guide to Buying and Selling Apartment Buildings by Steve BergesHow to Take an Apartment Building from Money Pit to Money Maker by Craig HaskellMulti-Family Millions by David LindahlThe ABCs of Real Estate Investing by Ken McElroyInvesting in Apartment Buildings by Matthew MartinezCrushing It in Apartments and Commercial Real Estate by Brian H.

So, you need to work on your perception.

There is also a big revitalization project in the Portland area, but I think there is a perception of that part of town and it's relative distance to the other areas already mentioned that make it a hard sell.

Interest and vacancy rates continue to remain low (for now) and the common perception seems to be that virtually anyone with some spare cash (or a self directed IRA) can fix, flip, reposition, rehab, swap, wholesale, lease to purchase, buy/hold, etc.

@Tyler Lee You might consider using the MBTA commuter rail, which should work well for much of downtown Boston.Go to https://mbta.com/trip-planner Enter your start and end locations and it will give you options for public transit.If that works for you, you can start looking further outside the city where prices are much more affordable.

You have to have a lighter touch with the property management.From a legal perspective in SFRs, yes, I always give 24 hours notice before I asset my right to access the property, WITH TWO EXCEPTIONS, an emergency situation constituting a danger to my property, the tenants, or the public at large, and shoveling any public sidewalks running through the property.

Most Governors wrote a press release and have public information on the tracts that qualify.

Here in MA, you cannot discriminate against a renter based on them receiving any type of public assistance, and that includes Section 8.I just talked with another BP'er a couple of hours ago who was contacted by what we think was a "tester". 

Proximity and identification of higher worth asset pockets becomes difficult/volatile to predict.Political environment and societal expectations that can be borderline ideological with regards to the aboveIf the crime does not get under control (see the above thoughts on education, gini, poverty, etc) this will weigh on perceptions and asset values for years to comeOn the upside:Indy is positioned well as a logistics hub which fueled growth, and it has a reasonably diversified economy.There is access to high quality higher education in the area.I will not invest in Indy although I did look at it awhile back.
