You won't get 6% commission but you can make 3% on the buy side. 

You won't get 6% commission but you can make 3% on the buy side.Maybe I'm looking at it wrong or missing something.

Theoretically I'm thinking of an agreement to where if I bring in a deal I'd write it up and get the buy side commission, then once the house is complete I get to list it.  

It also reduces the risk that someone tries to claim they don't owe you a commission (state laws vary on how to qualify as the "procuring cause" and this can get complex fast).  

I never suggest a new Realtor quit their day job to be a Realtor until their commission can sustain them above and beyond where they were with the day job alone.

All transactions relying on the new rules would be required to take place through an SEC-registered intermediary, either a broker-dealer or a funding Platform.Company Disclosure Requirements Companies that rely on the recommended rules to conduct a crowdfunding offering must file certain information with the Commission and provide this information to investors and the intermediary facilitating the offering, including among other things:o information regarding the price and pricing method of the securities and the targeted offering price;o a discussion of the company’s financial condition;§ financial statements of the company that, depending on the amount offered and sold during a 12-month period, are accompanied by information from the company’s tax returns, reviewed by an independent public accountant, or audited by an independent auditor. § A company offering more than $500,000 but not more than $1 million of securities relying on these rules for the first time would be permitted to provide reviewed rather than audited financial statements, unless financial statements of the company are available that have been audited by an independent auditor;o A description of the business and the use of proceeds from the offering;o Information about officers and directors as well as owners of 20 percent or more of the company; ando Certain related-party transactions.

You should know that most US companies (I don't know about Canada) do not pay a wage...you are an independent contractor, which means you will want to either have a backup income of some sort....either another job, pension, or savings, to pay your personal bills until you get your first commission check.  

You could pay her hourly, commission, or hourly + bonuses.It's your business, so it's up to you to decide how you want to pay her. 

Pros: You will save commissions on your flips, you will have access to data that nonagents do not, you will have a better understanding of real estate in general, you will be more marketable, you can help family/friends buy, sell, and rent.

I don't believe they charge any fees aside from their cut of your commissions, so if you're not active, all you pay is 3rd party fees to MLS, TREC, Realtor board, etc.There are many great options to choose from out there, and no firm is right for everyone.
