(for the 'bad' wholesalers)My question about Assignment over double close had to do with why have the option at all to hide the wholesalers profits if its ethical (why go through the extra money and hassle)?

If we find that they're disciplined and have a good work ethic, we'll have one of the other day laborers teach them additional trades.

Bait and switch tactic at its finest.I know that during the ~75 hour training RE agent undertakes has parts that deal with ethics.  

I suspect they didn’t use the agents I recommended because they didn’t like my price and may have been afraid a realtor I recommended wouldn’t try to get them full price.Any thoughts on legal, ethical ways I can compensate one or two realtors who regularly help me but are not getting anything for it?

Unless you are representing the seller as their agent and listing the property, you should not have any responsibility to disclose the FMV (obviously, don't lie and give an incorrect one..)You do have to disclose to the effect of  "buyer is a licensed agent entering into the transaction for a profit" and make clear that you are not representing the seller as their agent.Someone on one of the podcasts summed it up quite nicely - if you are going about your business ethically, having the license will not be an issue; if you're not, well... ;) Market price is defined as what someone is willing to pay for something.

Real estate ethics is a debatable subject which is much about the trust factor between a buyer and a seller - in a wider picture.

I began public speaking on this matter and became a co-Chair of the Regulatory and Ethics committee.

Good, Professional,& ethical.

Use the skills and work ethic you have from your service and put it to good use in your civilian career or RE investments!
