However, now that I did, I am glad I changed my perception.

Just felt like a way to create the perception of better monthly cash flow.I PMed you for the lender's info.

Not that any one of these are any less or more to me it's a perception thing.

Perception is just that important I see especially when you are asking a person that is really motivated to trust you with being able to get the done.

Thank you, Johnny Won't Everyone Be Doing The Same Thing....This is the perennial question in Real Estate.I don't know if I would qualify as a Top Producing Agent, but in my career (highest year in production was 75 Solo transactions) I would from time to time hire, or mentor newer agents.Your perception that your reluctance to working with a young inexperienced agent is not always true.  

Although this is definitely a great area to expand into (since there are plenty of societal benefits) it seems to me (especially after listening to podcast 3) that there is virtually no room to grow initially.

In addition, the market is a very fickly lady, and much of the supposed value of any given stock is based on perception. 

It might be worthwhile to take a look.Painting the exterior and changing the flooring, as you made reference to, could change the bank appraiser's perception of the property from OK, to good, or from good, to very good.

Perception is that it's worth it vs not.

@Dakoda Spencer I gather from your posts that your perception is that REOs are good deals.
