Commission or lower sales price?

[David Rawls]

Hello,

I'm a Licensee and I invest in RE with my business partner. When we buy MLS properties; Would it benefit us more to take the commission or should I decline the commission for the sake of lowering the purchase price?

The bulk of my personal income is tax-free and I only have 1 rental in my name that counts towards my taxable income.

Are there other aspects to this question that are outside of the tax realm?

Thanks for any input!
