You won’t be placing these properties under contract – your job simply involves sniffing these properties out and letting the investor know what you’ve located.

I've also been trying to pay off my first place (primary residence), and I think I was within 12 months...but I lost my job today.

You are looking for a win-win relationship, not just a futile arithmetic exercise based on splits of mythical commissions that haven't been earned.Only in real estate do complete beginners walk into job interviews armed to the teeth with "what's in it for me" questions for their employer.
