One thing I keep seeing in real estate is that the 'common perception' is often not exactly right.

It's a more conservative approach compared to starting out on your own without a degree because the perception is that college-educated grads are more qualified.

. - yes, it may be the most expensive, but that's not the perception.

So then if you charge rents of say 820-860 rent per unit depending on finish if I normally charge 840 I could make rent at the high end and then give a 20 rent credit for paying early.Might be something to try.It's all about the perception of these tenants thinking they will get a deal.

Plus... some how people ALWAYS have this perception that LA properties are high... and it's more of a battle... anyways...

It's more about the perception (whether it's warranted or not) and wanting to do what's right for the community.I'm open to any other suggestions and advice. 

I'll keep what you advised in mind moving forward although I have the same perception/expectations.

I want to start out wholesaling but I understand the negative perception it comes with.

Yours seems to come from your own perception/opinion, but thanks for sharing anyway.

This one wasn't a HUD but it was a comparable house in the same area with nearly the same asking price.Hopefully people's negative perceptions of HUD will keep most folks from bidding on this.
