I've reached similar conclusions already.I don't see anything morally or ethically wrong with what (good) investors/landlords are doing, in terms of profiting from cash flow.

But still an example of the kind of pettiness you can see with people who have a pathetic moral character.And I screen potential tenants a LOT better now, lol!

There are going to be people in this world without any morals it seems.  

You'll prove your point, it will be a moral victor but...2.) ...on the practical ROI side of things, I'd imagine you're going to have a hard time collecting.

Moral of my long ramble of a story:  I will NEVER sign one of those agreements, and if it is means an agent won't show me a house then I will just move on to someone else.

The moral of the story is just as Manny says, these programs are first and foremost about lining the pockets of the sponsors.True story alert - Just a week ago, my wife and I were driving to a local meeting in FFREIA, my local REIA, which I have become fairly active in.

IE: Wait till you pay off your debt, this would just come down to your own principals and morals.

These are moral and ethical issue of course and we all run on a different compass.the wholesalers in our market here in PDX the bigger ones anyway they close.and of course they are all licensed brokers..
