Referral fee for purchase of a property for yourself?

[Chase Hoover]

As a licensed out-of-state real estate agent purchasing a property in another state for a personal investment, is it appropriate and/or legal to ask for a referral fee of the commission? I am not using a buyer's agent so the listing agent would be getting both sides. The property is in VA. I do not want to step out of line (or break the law), but it would certainly help to cover my closing costs if it's allowable.
