Can I make money if I find a property owner a suitable renter?

Question

I want to get into property management... I am currently studying for my real estate license. I want to know if any agents out there would be willing to give me a small percentage off the compensation they stand to receive from that particular rental if I do all the leg work, advertise, show the property and get that right person in there.

Anyone?

Answer 1

It depends on where you live, but where I live, you need a leasing license to do that.  

Answer 2

You must have a license in order to receive commissioned compensation for work in the rental of a property that is not owned by you or your employer.

It is possible for a realtor to pay you a flat fee to act as an assistant.  But, they can not give you commissioned compensation.

Answer 3

You will need to get in touch with the property owner in advance and get an agreement for a referral fee.  Same situation with the real estate agent.  There are rules in place in each state where the laws spells out what activities you can carry out where a real estate agent license is required.  

Agents and property owners may be willing to give you a referral fee, but the fee cannot be a 'commission' for performing tasks where a license is required.
