Just had a talk with my Broker about this and wholesaling can be perceived as accepting a net listing.

One, the D.C. metro market was still in a depressed state, that there would have been at least a perceived appreciation potential. 

Besides if the deal blows up it could be perceived as a conflict of interest and you will look like the bad guy.

While the result is the same it will be perceived as more "fair" to raise the rent based on something they already agreed to, rather than your choice to hire a PM.

Often people will perceive what yo do as taking advantage of less fortunate people.

Understand what makes pricing different (make sure to throw out the delusional sellers who have way overpriced their homes), and be prepared to answer questions about your perceived values when asked.

Of course, it is also easier for your tenants to compare rents and move if they find what they perceive as a better deal.I hated prepping multiple homes at the same time so I always staggered my leases and generally chose the warm weather strategy.

Cash is real, equity is perceived...

(LOL)My speculation: I know we have many investors with strong views concerning how they perceive their rights, it's a popular theme, that logic does not play in real estate or other areas of business.

In February of this year, I started my campaign but decided to target probate as I perceived the barrier to entry to much bigger than just buying a list from list source.
