I obviously gain the business if there serious they gain this experience now they can market for me and for others if they choose and start making themselves a commission.

I have learned that I need to preface my post by stating that I receive no commission, kickbacks or compensation for sharing any information. 

That led me to structure commissions and take other actions to get their notice. 

I'd like to start building up my REI career by bird dogging properties for investors and making commissions or equity stake in the investments I find. 

When you add that,  closing costs,  mortgage payments,  realtor commission,  utilities,  taxes,  insurance,  etc it doesn't make much sense as a deal.  

How much will the end investor make if he buys from you, rehabs it including uknowns, carry's the property while it sits empty, markets for a buyer, pays a commission, closing costs 2 times, and sells 5-10% under market so it moves quick? 

You should also be asking about ongoing fee's and commission splits.

Thanks KevinIn our area, vacation rental management gets anywhere from 30-49% gross commission--a serious drag on cash flow. 

I tried using an app, very similar to this “SQFT” app shown on Techcrunch, to list my home and save the seller’s agent commission.

In most cases the listing agent will argue that their MLS listing procured a buyer and that the seller is obligated to pay a (roughly) 3% commission.
