Try reading past your name.You're the one that tried to bring my name into your paranoia.

For those who don't know, just because you got a great deal on the purchase is does NOT mean the sale appraisal will get nerf'd down, that's only paranoia in your own mind of such.

Just like you said, it's very easy for some kind of paranoia to set in; however, I just do it.

If I had this level of paranoia in denying applicants, my career would be jeopardized because word would quickly get around that I don't do my job.I think we'll have to agree to disagree on this one...clearly 2 different ways of doing business. 

Or possibly a paranoia one.

As I approached the home this evening to scope it out after work - from across the street mind you - the door quickly swung open and I was (un)warmly welcomed by a woman who was seemingly under the influence of either crack or meth, as her vibe felt strongly fueled by paranoia, exacerbation, and a very short attention span.

The situation falls so far from common sense at times, it's hard for people elsewhere to believe it's anything more than paranoia of litigation. 

My other concerns are my paranoia about a fire hazard that I know about and if I don't have it fixed how liable am I and also since I have had 4 fires in 13 yrs. in the business (all caused by careless tenants) the last thing I want to do is knowingly take on electrical fire risk.

I have two questions, first is there the possibility of unethical behavior going on in the back ground not actively closing the title so that I walk and another developer comes in or is that my paranoia?

Call it paranoia, but I never want to give my potential competitors any more information than necessary.Nevertheless - great to see so many other self-managers.
