These are professionals with additional training and a stricter code of ethics.

If you are dealing with legit ethical investors this will be a non issue.

Ethically you can not do this.

@Jason RuelloAs said below, 5-10% of monthly rent should be allotted towards TRR (treatments, repairs, replacements).To get a more accurate number or capital expenditures, you can examine the age and state of major items of the house such as the roof, HVAC, water heater, etc.

@Marc Nicolàs Mariano Congrats and good luck on the exam.One thing you'll realize after the exam is that the class does very little to train you on the actual process of buying and selling but trains you more on ethics, laws, terminology, and theory.Having a full-time job, you might consider finding a friend or neighbor w. a sole proprietorship brokerage.

Depends on how the foreign business is treated under US income tax law, and what treatment you elect under the check-the-box rules if the foreign entity is not a per se corporation for US income tax purposes.I strongly recommend you speak to your tax professional. 

Hey I am all for making money, but hopefully you have some ethics in there somewhere..... 

We can protect our market share and also hold ethics and morals to a higher standard.  

Once the contract has closed and you are all done, I would consider filing an ethics complaint with the State to put this agent on notice that they can't behave like that.
