Not totally accurate @Steve K. about a buyer's agent can no longer see commission.

If I can cover my end of the transaction with a flat fee by trading off my own time and effort, I can make a cleaner offer with more money net to the seller and they're more likely to accept.I agree that buyer's agents have value in most situations.

I don't know if anyone is tracking this specifically but I can tell you that in my market unless its an investment type deal where the buyer is getting a substantial discount, sellers are still very much paying commissions as part of the deal. 

While we were there, he told me he was actually the buyer for that property we walked through a week or two earlier.

Since it’s your first multi-unit, having your own buyer’s agent could really help, especially for advice on things like rental income potential, inspections, or zoning.

Not you, your agent, or a Zestimate.What's been the feedback on the property?

You just include the buyers agents commission as a term of your offer when you submit the offers.

As in you are a wholesaler and want a buyers pool?

If MLS access is your only goal then becoming an agent is an expensive way to do it.

The great ones, will focus on buyers that are looking to buy retail.
