Could I go to jail for this.

Hey there BP. I'm talking with REO specialist (realtor) whom I have not met in person. Told him what I was looking for & he emailed 2 properties for me to look at. He also sent me the lockbox code to let myself in. I called and asked if that was legal & he said that was standard practice with investors. Doesn't sound right to me so am I being overly cautious or is he stepping over legal or ethical boundaries? Thanks guys!! :)

There's no "law" against it. But it does violate MLS/realtor and the selling bank reg.s, which would be his problem, not yours.
