I still do legwork for out of state investors, including accurate scope of work reports, very detailed photography, and as a licensed broker, I believe I am very good at determining accurate and relevant SALES comp analyses to assist with your due diligence.  

I would encourage you to look at your broker exclusive agreement becuase that may add restrictions as to what you can do without paying extra money.

Yes, but you will be paid through your broker.   

I never considered attending as a seller's agent until I changed offices and my new broker brought it up and encouraged the agents to do so.

Consider working with a list broker who can make some recommendations for some of the new motivated owner occupied lists like; Seniors with Long-Time Ownership and Owners with Low Financial Stability Scores (FSS)

Unless you’re working with another broker for scoring off market deals, I would make the argument that you should have your own representation.

My best advice without knowing what you want to do would be to attend some of the local meet ups and to reach out to a local real estate broker at one of the big name brokerages to discuss whether this is a viable path.

@Alexander GeorgeThere are several factors to this and your real estate agent and mortgage broker should have explained this to you.

Some good lists to target are Absentee Owners with Equity, Seniors with Long-time Ownership and Homeowners with Low Financial Stability Scores.You can work with a list broker to optimize your list for your area.

I know that assignments are the game, but I need to look further into the gray area between selling the contract and being considered as a broker for the property in question under NYC law.
