Is this ethical....realtor bought for their own account from my elderly mother and turned around and sold it themselves for $50,000 profit. 

That keeps you out of trouble and builds a reputation as an ethical service provider.David J Dachtera"Success is not a destination.

Her response was pathetic, in my opinion-"I feel like it may be an ethical conflict since I am also the closing agent and I have to be careful how I present myself in this situation.

I know of no other industry which requires its members to take ethics training in order to renew their licenses.

Bring an opportunity to your next meetup for analysis help from a seasoned, ethical pro is what I'd do.  

Sounds questionable from an ethics stand point.

You are bound to much higher disclosure and ethics standards.  

So to say that means nothing especially if we have different goals.I believe with solid working foundation in RE principles, laws, and ethics both agents and investors can work together to find that common ground and get a deal done.

I want to learn to do things the correct way (legally, morally, and ethically).
