Most will have good references, but you need to know as much as possible about a contractor’s work ethic before you sign on the dotted line and commit to spending several thousand dollars on a project.

Don't promise the seller that you will guarantee the rent, especially with the ethics of people walking away from houses.

All parties feel safe here that an ethical transaction has been engineered.The great puzzle today is what is the exercise price?

No ethic or act of resistance is worth anything if it is not based on the real.

A quick follow up to my original post: I have no properties under contract right now and am still trying to build up my cash buyers list, is it ethical to put up bandit signs and such when I have nothing to market just to get serious buyers?

But there needs to be a legal/ethical way for agents to get paid IF it never closes.Why would an agent want to work for free?

The LLC that you refer to defaults to partnership treatment since there are multiple members, so the taxpayer that wants the credit is not the owner, the partnership is.

I'd be interested in working with another investor to buy a house if they were ethical and legit.

I'm trying to weigh out our ethical and ficuciary responsibilities in this short sale market.

This is something that is always addressed by ethical agents.
