We have a batch of properties that we took over with tenants late last year, and a number of those properties came with bugs and are on recurring treatment schedules with Orkin. 

These are professionals with additional training and a stricter code of ethics.

@Chris Lopez @Colin Smith @Robin SearleInterested in the agents' thoughts on this thread about the ethics or morals of listing a place right now in Denver.

Sad I have come across a share of home owners who are incredibly cocky and/or patronizing in their treatment of tenants but thankfully they've been in the minority by and large.

If this is the case, I don’t think you have an ethical Dilemma:)Good luck investing 

However -- just because it's an investment property does not mean it's a rental.OP should ask their tax advisor about investment treatment and making a Sec. 266 election.OP should also check state and local statue. 

Work hard, be ethical, be honorable... 

It’s expensive to maintain and buy the tools needed to build houses and at some point it would make no sense to do that job.let’s just hope a solid treatment solution is found quickly and we can all go back to business as usual before things get too bad.

This "mindset" is what is putting newer investors in peril right now and over-leveraged, seasoned investors who wanted more doors to boost their ego.Long-time investors are cash full and responsible with their portfolios and are going to ethically navigate this time and buy the best deals.

What is stopping an agent from making a false claim in order to get a buyer to bump themselves other than their ethics?
