If you gain advantage by letting an agent double-end a deal, then that agent is not being ethical.

But remember this person just went through a natural disaster is in a very vulnerable state, please be ethical.

For wholesalers I have heard that Simple Wholesaleing with @Brett Snodgrass does a great job and they sound pretty ethical and I would also recommend @Andy Rumple who I met personally and seemed like a great guy.  

Out $45,000 means that I loaned them $45,000 on 5 loans and I have not received back my principle on any of them and three of the five have been in default for over a year with no interest or principle paid back since defaulting way back in 2016

Capital gain is a little more complicated, with a pro rata share of principle received being taxed.

Hi,If you bought a house for $500k with a 5% down at 4% principle + interest.5 years later that house is now worth $600k.You sell the house.How much is your profit?

Your tenacity and work ethic got the job done, good job proving the naysayers wrong.What do you use to find these deals?

It's unbelievable how people justify their own ethical lapses based on someone else's behavior.  

I sold the home in April of 2014 and have the HUD showing principle balance paid in full and the check I received for leftover equity (a little over $10k).

If he did tell you, then he has to tell everyone that submitted bids per the NAR Code of Ethics.
