How can I remain ethical while just starting out?

Hi everyone.

Hope y'all are having a wonderful day. I'm just getting into real estate and the idea of wholesaling, which I see as a low barrier, cost effective way of getting some deals and learning the ropes of contracts, property analysis, networking, etc.

One question (of many) that I have is how to remain ethical in this business, especially without having much up front capital? The only way I'd be interested in doing any deal is with a high level of transperancy and keeping in mind the best interest of all parties involved. I know that it is unethical - and in my state (Texas), illegal - to get into a contract without proper funds (I am in college with ~$6,000 saved).

I am in no position to buy a house (or so I believe) or act like I am able to buy a house. So, is it possible to ethically and legally enter contracts without much capital? To those who started out without a lot of money, how did y'all handle this?

Thank you for your time and responses.
