Real Estate Agent- scrubbing MLS for motivated seller leads

Hello All, I've been racking my brain on how I can provide value to an investor as a RE agent while learning negotiation skills and simultaneously build my knowledge base of wholesaling investing. I'm interested in doing business in Massachussetts and Rhode Island. My thoughts are: ▪️Find a local wholesaler or flipper (investor) that would like to partner up (a feat in itself but I have some contacts) ▪️I would scrub the MLS, locate properties that have gone off market and have equity. Gather owner and property information ▪️Investor would come up with an offer price ▪️[we?] would make contact with owner or visit property with the aim of speaking with the owner ▪️I would sit in on negotiation ▪️Assuming a deal is worked out I would receive a cut of the deal (not sure what would be fair earnings in this scenario.) Is this realistic? Would this be of actual value to an investor? I know many agents do not like to work with investors because of the amount of work vs. pay-off. I am looking for a mutually beneficial way that I can learn while providing value in my current role as a real estate agent. Thoughts, suggestions? Thanks in advance!

I have been operating in this market for some time. Very rarely do I purchase an on market or recently on market deal. Having said that, a hungry bird dog whether an agent or not is always useful. I do have a proposal if you are interested that I believe you will find beneficial. If you would like to discuss further, PM me.
