If I am my own real estate agent buying an investment property for myself, do I get the % commission which would typically go to the buyer's agent?
Pretty simple question. I tried to Google it but couldn't find anything (maybe I'm using the wrong search terms). Hopefully I picked the right category to post this. I'm still newer here, so if I'm supposed to post this somewhere else, let me know.

Always consider forfeiting your commissions as opposed to collecting them so you are not paying income taxes
