There is usually no real benefit to you as a buyer in working directly with the listing agent. 

@Tony Marcelle, I've never quite understood how people get Sellers to let them lease their property (instead of outright buying) for significantly less than the market rate, especially when the Seller is being asked to approve sub-leasing for higher amounts, which the Seller would not benefit from.

Infrastructure costs, traffic, property tax increases, increased housing, fire, police and maintenance can offset the benefits.

That being said, is there a way to use the depreciation that they “can’t” utilize, and let it benefit the investors that can use it?

Is there a benefit to that approach vs just getting a typical home loan on the second property?

You have to choose which belief system you think is right and make the best investments you feel will benefit you the most with minimizing the risk of losing it all.

While the pay and benefits are great most weeks I find myself working 60+ hours.

Its seems like their current offering is new construction in Hudson County NJ, but as someone who invest post tax and looking for ability to depreciate and offset its own income not sure new construction is the right avenue for tax benefits of this type of passive investing.

Hey Benjamin,I'm new to flipping as well and also looking to get my license (so I can't really give you any advice) but I was curious what benefits does the licence give you?
