Always screen your tenants and be very careful when going out and confronting tenants on your own.

I ponder while painting or shoveling snow, as the traffic flows in and out, someone should confront them about possibly selling illicit narcotics... when my hero complex fades, I have the sense to google the name and the first hit is "(insert nefarious neighbor's name) shoots man twice accusing him of selling drugs to kids".........

You are about to be confronted with many,  many options in real estate,  and this book will actually help you achieve your goals (and confront paralysis by analysis), not just plan for them. 

I was later confronted at the property by an investor who seemed interested in redeeming it, and asked me point-blank if I had the rights.

Do I have any legal grounds to confront someone who starts holding themselves out as LA Home Buyers?

Some people just aren't comfortable with any type of confrontation (they will say they are interested when they are not, etc).I email them the application when they are at the unit, and they fill it out later.

@Byron Bohlsen, I understand and I wasn't trying to be confrontational or presumptuous  at all.

I am a nice guy too and hate confrontation.

From my experience people that are squatting don't really want confrontation.  

When I confronted him, he says it was an accident because he got my name mixed up with someone else.
