I do plan to continue to let an agent handle all my sales, but I am not sure if I will be easier for a buyer to sue me since there may be a perception I am held to a higher standard since I am in the business even though I am not representing myself.

Whats are the bright lights and sirens of a good deal? 

I'd suggest you look at a large public housing development and the issues of public perception, which steers your marketing abilities regardless of rent pricing, low, low-moderate or moderate.You also end up competing against yourself, one unit will always be more desirable, you'll learn to stager rents and not show some units until others may be rented.It's great to go in and redevelop an area, improving and increasing values, but it's not just dependent on the dollars like looking at the ARV of one property.

But maybe a more important question to ask (from a real estate investing point of view) is this: What's the public perception of the level of risk? 

Perception of values comes into play.

But when you do not have to pay out to Uncle Sam that drives your dollars a lot further.You also are perceptive in respect of the list of buyers needed - and that is a priority in making things come together.

Perception is everything.

@John Fulton I believe the issue with the opposing views/commentary is that a lot of the information and beliefs are relative to one's own perception or experiences and ultimately their end goal.

It has a lot to do with perceptions.
