If folks are paying you to hear what you think about a particular deal about 99% of those folks are going to want to hire you as their agent for that deal because they see the value that you bring to the table, if they didn't why would they have paid to hear what you think about it?

If they are paying tenants than I don’t see the harm in keeping them.
