They may charge you a monthly fee or a % of your commissions.  

But then I want to make sure I am not cutting the commission for the buyer's agent below market rate.  

My main concern is how difficult is it to split commissions with a listing broker if I find a buyer for his exclusive listing using my own website.Hopefully I am making sense here.

If you want to work independently, you have to then take the managing broker exam (the first  exam only qualifies you as an "associate broker")I think some of the bigger brokerages may have some situations where they cover costs of schooling and licensing for you (meaning they'll front the money and take it out of your commissions later) but I'm not sure.

Only way is to register an RRSP eligible fund with the securities commission which in turn invests in US properties.  

Hi tabitha you are doing great, let me explain what a direct cap rate is.Take the annual income of the property less all expenses (taxes, insurance, maintenance , commission...etc) do not include any debt related costs.

Also you know they would still be willing to pay you your commission if you're able to make a Sale since they had already listed through an Agent previously.

Don't forget though, that as a buyer you don't pay the commission, the seller does.  

(smile)  I am in the midst of obtaining my RE License, however I need a financial foundation to relocate and live on prior to accepting commission-only positions. 

Your broker will need some kind of productivity from you & they'll also stiff you on your commission splits at first.
