It's not a conflict of interest but you shouldn't disclose to the listing agent any sensitive information because they are obligated to convey it to their client - the seller.They already signed the listing agreement with the seller who became their client and they owe the seller certain fiduciary duties.When you contact the listing agent, you become a customer, that's why the agent must have you signed "Agency disclosure":seller and buyer both have to agree that the agent represents their interests.However, for a customer it's only treating you fair and disclose material facts about safety.Unless you know this business really great and can negotiate your terms, I'd get my own selling agent - and it's free.

Their attorneys will make the minimum bid and then let it go.I'd go and see how the sale is going, especially if you know for sure what others don't (interior in details, other sensitive info)

@Alexander Felice- I'm the sensitive, salty one? 

Filburn is not relevant to this issue... that case has to do with the regulation of agricultural produce.. an issue the US government is extremely sensitive about.

These applicants also weren't price-sensitive.  

The 3rd Deal Purchased 5-2-17: The second deal from my wholesaler was not a time sensitive situation and I was able to wait the 20-35 days to do a normal close with my lender.

Generally I consider myself pretty conservative. 2) It's pretty easy to do a sensitivity analysis to see how changes in price and interest rates impact each other.

@Justin SilverioFor non time-sensitive letters, yes.

It seems advantageous to have the potential tenant directly billed and to not have to receive sensitive information such as SSNs.  

Of course lower level tenant can call police but if it's not within the spectrum of the above they will just leave.If you give this tenant notice your setting yourself up to do the same with the next tenant, the lower level people might just be sensitive..
