I always use 20 plus agents and make sure they get paid all 6% commission. I have close to 4000 units so I can tell you it is more effective than having one.

I'm a southern California agent and I'd say it is always best to find one good agent and stick with them. Remember agents only get paid when they sell you a home, so try to be nice and don't waste there time and expenses.

If you have a passion for selling real estate and that is how you want to spend your time, then by all means pursue that as a career. However, since sellers pay the commission, you can outsource the entire marketing for acquisitions portion of your business for free by using agents. If the same agent makes 6% working with me and 3% working with you, who do you think will get first shot at the deal? Access to active mls listings are free.

If you get a RE license and then buy property for your own portfolio, do you only pay the listing agent 3% and you keep the other 3%? If so, will listing agents still work with/for you. Presumably, you would need to tell them that you are expecting to get half the commission up front? Is there a benefit to getting licensed yourself, so that you have access to MLS?
