Just like I think the majority of the human race are good people, most of my tenants are normal, reasonable, good people.In general, I don't think society thinks poorly of landlords and other REIs. 

Question is should my tax returns for my LLC file me as a dealer or investor?

Also you can only sell so many homes a year and not have to have a dealer license.

I cannot assume what is in the mind of another human, but whatever his reasons are, he is doing a disservice to his client and therefore is not fulfilling his duties.

Some out of pure desperation, some out of lack of honor and human decency. 

The IRS could consider you a "Dealer" and take away many of the tax advantages of rentals. 

So today I was doing maintenance at one of my rentals, I opened the closet to access the central AC handler unit to change the filter and after I opened the closet door,  I had to rearrange a few things to clear the space to the left so I can have a clear path to the filter slot.As I moved some clothes to the right my hand touched what appeared to be a human head on the rack.I quickly jumped back and in my mind was a scene in Silence of the Lambs...I tripped on myself and fell on my butt.I was so scared LOL.Glad the tenant wasn't there.

From experience with human beings, we always scout at least three other alternatives who can jump in and take over at any given time.

I seem to remember habitat for humanity being one.

We all are humans and nobody can be perfect.
