@Keenan Branch this is a great question but I would suggest treating this like any vendor for your market. 

Your commission split will be higher in favor of the broker, BUT it's a good place to experiment and have your training wheels before branching off onto other brokerages that give you a better split. 

I say start local to you, find a few promising neighborhoods then branch out.

Someone else on this chain suggested they were already trained, but I assume they meant on Air Bnb, not trained on your specific way of doing things.

If it is a real question....wholesalers engage in a practice called "daisy-chaining."

The secret of getting ahead, is getting started.It is vital you connect with a realtor anywhere in the United States, who will take the time to understand your desired type of property and areas of the market you have been looking in.Learn about the good, bad, and ugly regarding distressed properties, whether due to  property condition or the chain of title.

If you compare the supply of hotel rooms: Tulum only has around 10,000 hotel rooms while Playa del Carmen (Solidaridad) has approximately 45,000 hotel rooms, which is why big hotel chains are planning on opening in Tulum. 

At a standard brokerage, we have to design how were eating their lunch and what's left. eXp put's out there they will give away the lion's share of brokerage comm split's, making it available to those "up-chain" of that agent.

They can walk in any branch with a personal check or cash, or pay online via ACH bank-to-bank transfer.
