People can usually tell if you're being genuine.  

I am still a "nice" landlord , genuinely enjoy most of my tenants.

I wouldn't want to place my hard-earned dollars with someone who didn't genuinely care about me/my investment either - that just plain stinks.

If you buy good rentals, in good neighborhoods, screen tenants, and are genuinely interested in providing them with a good living experience, you'll get fewer complaints.  

Their claims of a new income source does not appear genuine.

I should add, like others have stated, that like the second hand contact/inhalation of cigarette carcinogens, the ingestion of toxic spores would take quite some time to genuinely make you ill, aside from maybe a little runny nose or small headache...which brings me back full circle to the "myriad of other illnesses."

Idk, but I am not liking the removal of a genuine discussion topic.

You really just have to have a genuine conversation with them and figure out why they're looking to sell.

It puts a bad name for those that genuinely want to support aspiring investors to start their portfolios. 

I would have been sure to get good details like the house number on the door, GPS location and clear face shots via 36x zoom just for dramatic effect.
