I expect most people to say that renters don't like yards or maintaining them, but I this yard is so small that I am afraid it might be a deterrent.

Part of SAVERS deals with the subconscious mind: silence (medication), affirmations, and visualization.

Install the security cameras as a deterrent.

The problem was for me is that I am a visual learner so going over things over the phone didn't work, also everything he told me was the stuff i knew.

Usually it's enough of a deterrent to prevent this kinda thing.

Find reasons why you think any advice received is not good advice and find reasons why it is.Evaluate them and visualize these, make a decision.

Would you be able tell me a little about your home, visually walk me through the home if you don't mind."

It's just trying to work out every little detail so I can visualize everything happening before it actually does.
