Point is, even if you have and hold integrity, other people could still have alternate perceptions, so in that regard, "working" on your integrity may be applicable.

I know there have been some attempts at revitalization in that area, but I don't think it's changed the overall perception of the neighborhood. 

If the property has not sold after being on the market for $75k or more or what ever it was listed at, that sort of says that the property value perception here does not jive.  

Though I do believe us humans are having an adverse effect on the global climate I don't think it's going to cause a mass migration of people to move north anytime soon like 10 or 15 years, maybe 50 years down the road if some of those extreme climate model forecasts end up true and society sits and does nothing to improve the situation from now to then. 

Apparently nobody saw it coming, even though when you look at the chart and at the rate inventory was rising after 2004, you have to wonder if they were blind or just in disbelieve.The issue with real estate values is that they are based on perception.

A career in the real estate arena is something that interests me and I have taken several courses during the course of my legal education as well as being a member of the Real Estate Law Society.

I think we, as a society, need to grasp the concept that "Poor" doesn't mean you don't have money...

Whether through wacky ARV's or way off base rental income estimates I have a growing perception that anything that doesn't involve you working directly with a seller one on one is a to be taken with a grain of salt.

Account Closed Not sure where the "Big head" came from or how you came up with that perception based off of my post.

My point was, it appears, based on anecdotal evidence (which is the same evidence you provided), that the PM industry, has at a minimum, a perception problem.
