The onion is there to be peeled, but it gets worse as we get to the core and we'd rather peel the surface, dealing with much simpler perceptions that are rooted in subjecting some to mantras of laziness and criminal habituality.  

It seems that the lack of experience is what caused some confusion and unfortunately airbnb is up to everyone's personal perception.

But if I were you and had such a negative perception of wholesalers, or any specific wholesale deal where I can't get a title fully insured, I would simply forego the assets offered by wholesaler/s.

Outside of that, I dont naturally feel I'm in danger because I have an accurate and grounded perception of what the situation actually is. 

I think the overall point is that there will be varying perceptions of any single event, whether positive or negative, by all involved and it is the generalization of those perceptions that often results in misaligned expectations.

its a huge perception problem that sellers have and wholesalers foster it with their sales pitches.   

I mean, I'm sure most landlords don't set out to be slumlords, but I don't even think I could stand that perception of my business.To explain a little further, and to build off @Mike Cumbie, this is a personal loan, with the justification of "buying property" (or something to that effect), to cover a significant portion of the purchase and rehab costs I cannot cover out of pocket.

The things you are talking about won't increase the rents or perception of the property much at all.

My own opinion (and just that an opinion), the original person may have been referring to common perceptions about "age", i.e. that you have a short time horizon, lower risk tolerance etc.
