Residential Purchase Agreement for FSBO?

Hello, 

I am an agent in California. 

I would like to buy a house as an investor from a seller, without ANY agents involved. 

I have personal contracts, but I would rather use the CAR Forms to be more safe. 

As an agent/investor, what would you say are the pros/cons of using a standard CAR rpa?

I don't understand the need for a personal contract when you can be much more protected. 

Also, if I go the official route of using standard CAR rpa, what parts of the document would I take out (i.e. one of the last pages that has the agent signatures - since there aren't any), and what other documents would you INCLUDE, so that the seller knows you are an agent, but not acting as one. 

Thank you in advance!
