Commercial agent buying a residential house hack - Good idea?
Hello,
I currently live in Austin, TX and plan to purchase my first house and do a "House hack". I don't have a ton of capital but since Commercial real estate is my profession, I am licensed (Not experienced in residential transactions though)
Do y'all think it's a good idea to self represent and collect the 3% commission when purchasing to help with closing costs/Down payment? I don't have tons of capital so I believe I can get it done best this way. My Brokerage will pay me my full commission for this transaction.
Thanks!

@Tristen Palori if you understand the contracts you could be ok. Really just make sure you understand what you're buying. Reach out if you need anything!
