For example, write down where you want to invest and what you want to invest in.

I have a single family home I rent that has about 28K remaining on the loan.I collect about 500 a month, after prop. management fees.I'm thinking about cashing out a mutual fund and paying off the house.Then, my 28K would be making approx. 500 a month, or about 6K a year, as opposed to the 0 dollars it is making invested in the market.Also, Dave Ramsey writes that the only way he owns rentals is if he owns them outright with no loansDoes any of this make sense or am I missing some very important facts??

Whether that means they cut the amount that the seller agreed to pay them is up to them and the seller, not you.The Code of Ethics has more to do with the agent doing the right thing, not with how you write your offer.
