When presented with this situation I get the impression that they have something to hide.

But it's another for a simple real estate investor to be worried about layering of entities and "hiding" their name (unless you are doing something shady or illegal).  

Scammers can hide behind e-mail, and phone calls, but video you can watch how they answer questions with their eyes and body language.I really do not know how people that consider doing this kind of stuff to people go to bed at night.No legal advice given.

Tenants how don't report it are either a) hiding something else they don't want you to see or b) just don't care because it doesn't affect them much at the time.

If you got a negative report and choose to hide that information then you could be legally liable for negligence.You aren't required to show her the report. 

I live far away from two single family homes and I told my husband that we need to make sure that if he leaves the expensive tools, to hide it because someone can go in and take what they want.

And I am a very hands-on LL and make a visible presence, so it would be difficult for a tenant to hide it. 

If they use the same brand, sheen, and color, it should be easy to match and hide.

From my research I picked that one since it had traditional buttons and a key so I can still hide a key in a lockbox nearby.

Not talking to them, turtling and hiding that is the last thing you should consider.
