I personally am a proponent of serving in the military; both for patriotism and to pay for your education. it will provide a strong base and work ethic fir your entire life showing you that you can persevere mkre than you would have ever known.

Do it ethically, or don't do it at all!

Its obvious you have a high degree of self control, work ethic, and a desire to learn.

Wholesalers are NOT bound by a code of ethics like realtors and listings on the MLS.

Morals/Ethics: Real estate just like money can expose both the positive and negative things in people.

The biggest thing for me is honesty and a good work ethic. 

If the contract falls through, it is their loss and you are not obligated to return the fee, but it is ethical to do so.

I'd have more concern with the ethics involved, asking for fees up front without a reall committment or POF, I'd just walk away from this "partner" it's the thinking behind it to me, shows the attitude going in.... :)

Check into what their licensing board requires for ethics?

The big money is owning your own business but a whole new set of issues.My daughter just graduated from K.S.U in Business she has a job waiting for her in pharmacy sales.I am of the mind kids should not have a total paid for college they need skin in the game.Both my kids have some debt from college not a lot.I told my son you are a broke college kid live like it you will look back at this time with great pride.He still drives an old pick up making good money most of his coworkers drive new pickups.I did not get a degree out of 5 kids heavy with Engineers.I do think the right degree with a good work ethic is the recipe for success.
