I tell agents that scout for properties for me that I'm quite happy for them to retain the full 3% commission on the buy side and that I will list the property with them once I'm done with the rehab at a commission of 5% (3% to the buyer's agent and 2% for my agent). 

The house we want to make an offer on is ready to rent, but in scouting the neighborhood I noticed that there are multiple houses for rent already in that neighborhood.

I wish I could send a scout to check out the properties and send me photo updates.
