When you market a home with a particular amenity, you have a moral obligation to ensure that amenity is maintained. it doesn't matter if you told them the tub worked or not; they saw it and assumed it works so you should ensure the home matches what was presented.If you don't intend to maintain the tub, be sure to disclose that to future renters.

I know now that wasn’t a great move and will do things differently in the future 

Right now you may be able to rent it because of the recent hurricane but that would not be sustainable long term IMO.

I felt like it was, however, a defining moment for my future real estate career as I can now spend even more time reading and networking.

I think it can hurt in the future, if I don't disclose everything.

I would think, on the other hand, those effected properties will have a signification price / value drop so you might be able to get some from those who just don't want to deal with that or just walk away.I'm a long term investor (10+ years) so i would worry about global warming, sea level rising, stronger storms and more flooding so i would probably avoid areas that was historically effected or might be effected in the near future.
