Aloha Nick,ROI can be seen in Hawaii properties, but acquire from a good P/L, not emotion.And getting a license just for MLS seems an expensive way to get data, most brokerages wont allow you to join just to purchase homes for yourself tho. or have restrictions...Choose your Brokerage well, research the "details".

I have excellent credit personally and with my business, and my business (real estate brokerage owner) has great income. 

I have read that some brokerages do not prefer working with investors.

Often I see ads posted by real estate professionals who are NOT posting their licensing and brokerage information in the ads.

I also have over $200k in cash holdings/brokerage accounts.

Any solid commercial broker/agents present here in this forum?

PM is a high volume low profit product to go along with but/sell brokerage services.

There are several different scenarios that could play out within the scope of your question:If you refer a seller to another broker/agent, and they take the listing and sell the property, you would typically ask that broker for a referral fee, paid to your broker.

Define what you want and what you don't want in clients, your business, and your life.Find another broker/agent who is already doing what you want to do and has lot's of experience.

So it is up to the buyer to pay for the buyer's brokerage fee.
