Common issues when dealing with sellers

[Eugene Naroditskiy]

I don't have much fear of the actual negotiating but I'm a bit apprehensive about how much to reveal to my seller, as far as the intentions of what I'm doing. I absolutely want to be ethical in what I'm doing but I can't imagine many sellers being happy about me making $5,000 off of their house? Do I tell them exactly what I'm trying to accomplish, do I sugar-coat it? Any suggestions on this would be appreciated. Thanks!
