It doesn't seem like these guys are turning a profit yet, but the fact that Zillow is a public company definitely adds legitimacy.

However, I feel that if an investor is not willing to put this in, then they really should not be investing in real estate, and should consider investing in public markets or something else.

It should not be any issue....a separate disclosure form to this fact would be advisable.There is some type of “notes” field when you input the data.....typically you can make certain notes visible only to other agents in your mls system, or you can make notes available to the public when they view it on Zillow, realtor.com, etc.I would include language about the title issue/circumstances in these notes, in the public section.
