But the bigger take is, whether the agreed upon commission is $1,000 or 6% or $250,000 for a $50,000,000 listing, as the seller that amount is arranged ahead of time, and therefore, from my perspective, has no bearing on which "pocket" it goes into.

fix/flips, buy and hold, short term rentals, wholesaling?

I am sure there are other things that would need to be done first.Someone posted about working part-time at a RE or investor's office, and I would be willing to do that for a fixed, short-term, like 6 months or so, but a lot of the job postings require a license.
