Using real estate license at the back end when buying a condo

Hello, I would like to ask for opinions. I have an active real estate license and no experience. However, I found a condo that I like in LA and buying it. I’m using my parents’ lender for loan. When I was talking to her, she has a husband who is a broker. I said I like to learn how the whole process work in the future and she said her husband can put me in his company and do 50/50 in the beginning. Later 70/30 and then 80/20. She recommended that her husband should do the offer letter and put me as a realtor so i can save some money like $4000 to $5000. I was like okay. I thought her husband is getting $10000. Now when I look at the contract from seller, he is getting $20,000. So I feel like I was rid off which was saying 50/50 when I start working along side with her husband. Right now I haven’t paid EMA deposit yet. So should I ask for more money from the husband or should I just leave it at that? During negotiation stage, her husband offered me $6000 since I was taking my time to accept the offer. What is fair? I thought I was getting 50%.

Aren't comps/CMAs useless with buyer credits at close happening now?

I'm looking into buying a new construction townhouse in my HCOL US city. I'm seeing builders offering interest rate buydowns worth $20k-$60k on $800k homes (rather than just lowering prices) in order to keep their comps high for their other units, now that buyer demand has been declining. I asked my agent about these, and he said these buydowns aren't even the full story: buyers can write all kinds of other credits into an offer, like their closing costs, prepaid sewer fees, etc. Apparently cash buyers can just write in a "buyer credit at close" for any amount in their offer. So a new townhouse that appeared to sell for $800k in the MLS might have actually been a cash offer with a $100k+ buyer credit at close, meaning the buyer only spent $700k or less in total, but to the rest of the world they can only see the $800k! So that made me realize I can't trust comps/CMAs for other new construction townhouses. The sales prices could be way lower than they appear...
