Yet from my perception, given the choices we have, the lesser evil in November 2008 is distancing ourselves as far as possible from almost everything that represents the current administration, even if that means going more socialist for eight more years.

I would think about setting up a Living Trust.That's a mis perception.

I think your issue is less about the market and more about perception.

When I was weaned in the ways of real estate as a salesman then eventually a licensed broker in NY during the 70's the most important thing I learned from one of our syndication clients is that perception is everything.If your audience believes you are successful then you are successful.

This makes sense if your perception of increased value is supported by the cash flow to support the new indebtness.

The sooner the seller/realtor present the market with a price in which the seller's perception of value match that of the market realities, the sooner this thing will get sold.

I understand there is a huge potential for a conflict of interest, even if a company operates fairly and honestly, the perception of impropriety will exist.

My point was to steering business not making a recommendation.I was also speaking to perception, having been around in the business for so long, often it's not what is illegal or unethical, but the perception of conflicts of interest.

More people seemed to suggest this was a good way to avoid wasting time and avoiding perception of discrimination - but would be interested in alternative viewpoint.

That combined with three young males changes my perception of what these tenants may be like.
