I am an equity trust client.

I trust what I can see and feel!

You have to have a contractor you can trust, a property inspector that can go over the property with a fine tooth comb if you're not familiar with all of the aspects of buying a used home, a lender/broker that has the products and a property manager if you're not experienced or if you have a real job. 

I made the mistake of not putting him on the lease.I just don't trust someone who after just living in my place for two weeks threatens to sue me.

It's important to use this time to set expectations, but also gain their trust / respect.

Once you do one sale it is easy to ensure trust.

They require you use an LLC or Land Trust(Not all allow it, but look into it). 

But If you don’t trust your realtor or the inspector, switch them out.

Trust but verify....

They know that most of their clients don't have either the time or the skill to do it themselves, and so just like taking your car to a mechanic you need to be able to trust the person or company that you hire.
