@Aaron LindenYou are welcome.....and yes, thanks for pointing out the discrepancies within neighborhoods.This is especially so if somebody chooses to invest in some C and below areas where the lure of cash flow may look good on paper but the headaches more often than not may eclipse the perceived returns.

The market is perceiving that those properties will be more PROFITABLE. 

Sell it as is to a homeowner: Trashing it out goes a long way toward creating perceived value to a homeowner.

Class A areas tend to have limited turnover and higher rent to equity growth over time for appreciation.They also tend to have the least amount of cash flow.A area - more appreciation, less cash flowB area- middle appreciation, middle cash flowC area - less appreciation, more cash flow ( bigger headache )D area - close to zero appreciation or loss of current value, higher perceived cash flow with more work and a huge headache. ( owning out of state A and B area are the ones most investors stick to ).   

If a property is perceived as lower risk, the market will pay a higher price. 

It is also measured by a landlords perceived responsibility to our industry. 

Even though yeah I know the maxims and agree with the whole "your source of stability is your own"  but if you have a good job that has stability, even has perceived stability, not blind stability, there is power to the W2 earner.The W2 earner does not need to be an accredited investor to take part in all opportunities.  

But I wouldn't make it about the dog or it could potentially be seen as discrimination or retaliation if they have a legitimate disability/service animal and they perceive that as the reason you are actually trying to get rid of them. 

It measures the market perceived value of net operating income.  

Has anyone seen success from online advertising, or do  physical yellow letters increase the perceived legitimacy of one's investing operation to a prospective buyer?
