Considering becoming a buyers agent - rebates?

[Jeremy Segermeister]

Hi All,

I’m looking to get started in real estate investing. While I educate myself, I thought it couldn’t hurt to get a real estate license in the process.

I negotiate professionally in my full time job, so I believe I would do well helping others negotiate their homes in this competitive market.

My question is- if I studied and got my license, would I then be able to help friends/family purchase their homes and give them a rebate/portion of the commission?

I’m not interested in taking people to showings, marketing myself etc., but if people are willing to do some homework on their own and use me to close the deal, it could be a win-win. Home prices where I live are $2M+, so this would be a good opportunity for me to get additional cash flow.

Thanks in advance!
