Massachusetts Agent commission down payment

[Kyle Curtin]

Hi everyone, I had a question about something I heard on the BiggerPockets podcast today that blew my mind to pieces.

I am unsure of what episode I was listening to, but the person they were interviewing was an agent who bought properties with his buyers agent commission as part of a down payment.

I am an agent, and was wondering if it is allowed for me to buy a SFH or MFH with the intent to househack as an agent, so I can use my 2% commission from the seller for being the "buyers agent"?

Are there rules by state?

Thank you,
