You will find that sellers will always have their guard up because they think you are there to try and "steal" the house.

Once you are in the network the relationship immediately changes, there are new surprise conditions that they didn't tell you about before you sign-up, and there's no guarantee that an investor wouldn't steal the deal behind your back (although, I cannot say if that really happens, but they address it in the materials).

Do it in stealth mode.  

What if someone breaks into your rental when it's unoccupied and tries to steal the HDTVs? 

I'd have no problem signing one (although in return, I'd ask for first notification that you passed on the opportunity and a release respectively).Reputation is everything... if the GC cares at all about theirs, it's not likely they'll steal the project.

He probably did steal the tools, BUT you need to be aware that it's awfully easy to misplace stuff like that and then jump to conclusions... especially once suspicion/conflict has started to develop.

And from a management point of view remember that a trailer tenant can kick in the walls/door, steal the refrigerator and skip out in the middle of the night, whereas it is difficult and expensive for a lot tenant to move his/her trailer from your park.

Now in stealth mode for a new one that is investment centric and back to investing in real estate and working to help investors get the cash they need for their projects. 

They won't want you to steal the listing when the owner wants to sell.

Eric H. you haven't had any problems with the buyer trying to go around your back to steal the deal?
