If using a Buyer's Agent, but they're not available to open the door of the property, ask them to do a rebate of 500.00 out of what the property is paying any Buyer Agent, and increase the Listing Agent's commission by $500 to get them to open the door to their own listing.

Of course, if you aren’t offering to pay them their commission, let them know they’ll need to factor their commission into the purchase price.

., then having your own license can help immensely as not only do you get a portion of your side of the commission depending on your broker agreement, but you also get business deductions like mileage, equipment, etc. 

As long as they are patient, licensed and willing to help you (and they should since there is a possible commission at the end of this rainbow).I would suggest starting with one of the national realtor sites (zillow, redfin, realtor.com, etc), search for multi-family properties all over your area, pick one (anyone that looks interesting) and call the agent to get details. 

They paid the couple 50k and pocketed 10k....much higher than even the standard 10% commission that lots command (but buyers actually fixed up the trailer and now live there so 6% is usual).  

I have no problem with him getting a commission on deals that he brings, but it seems like a bad idea to me to sign this agreement.

The $10k difference is his wholesaler fee and my realtor's commission. 

I used a realtor who charged a $200 "out of state investor fee" to be paid at closing (on top of the sales commission).

On paper, this looks like 900k of costs with a profit of 2-300k allowing for commissions, fees, overrages.This is completely new to me and my first foray.

With an asking price of $229K they would net about $210K after commissions and closing costs.
