Bigger Pockets has been a great resource to me and my company with "putting us on the map"I love open forums as if you do the tight thing, people talk about it.If you do the wrong thing, people talk about that also.So if you make sure that your ethics are in check and you work with integrity.The Bigger Pockets audience will reward you.I think my story is pretty cool having posted on Bigger Pockets for the first time over 4 years ago  - https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/55/topics/987...And fast forward to this day, I've done over 400 deals, run multiple companies and still going very strong.Thanks

In fact, for their attorney, that may be an ethics violation. 

Could there be a way to arrange a deal with some organization that they could use the house as they wish (ethically and lawfully), but when they are finished, they would demolish it?

If someone has a business model or ethics I don't like, I will let them go and know that there are many more investors out there.But if we have an open and honest relationship, good things happen. 

I may even become a landlord - an ethical one who fixes things though :DI have a slumlord who is so bad he's quite well known.

I know there are arguments about this technique and the ethical side of it as well.  

We only handle ABC property in south st louis. and we only take on A,B investor/clients that are ethical.

It's a fairly simple system to figure out, so there are investors and businesses (Mostly flippers) focus on it as a primary deal source, building a system to study properties in advance of the sale and having top bids ready to roll.There is also a fair amount of, let's call it, less than ethical behavior going on.

I believe you have an opportunity to ethically position yourself as the "go-to" broker for multifamily in your area. 

this is more of an ethics test and less of a 'can i get away with...' one.
