You need to make friends with a licensee, preferably one that deals primarily with investors.

Making a listing contract or lease which provides for a "net" return to the seller/lessor, leaving the licensee free to sell or lease the property at any price he can obtain in excess of the "net" price named by the seller/lessor.Then again, to all these guys that say sure, I'd take your deal and call up the VA REA and ask them.

Seller or buyer ( principal ) contracts with broker ( agent ) usually via broker's sub agent ( sales person ).A salesperson licensee needs to remember, they are general agents of their broker and their broker is assuming all liability for their actions.

Also, I am a real estate licensee and was hoping to be able to do my own purchases and sales, but it sounds like I can't do that either at that would be self dealing.

I would search out the best licensee course in the area that you plan to move tot.

@Christi Hawkins I'm not a licensee so if there is such a rule it doesn't apply. 

I'm not certain if other states have similiar clauses but I would defintely look into it to make sure states you want to transact business in do or do not have such a legal condition.Overall, I would become a licensee regardless.
