I am not attorney so this answer should not be looked at as legal advice. Answer: Commission not usually paid to non-licensed persons. Licensed Realtors and Brokers usually cannot share or pay commissions to any unlicensed people. Exception is Buyer or Seller who can always receive money from a licensed agent with full disclosure. Must show up on closing documents that commission was rebated to seller or buyer so that all parties to transaction will be aware of situation..

Realtors, Brokers and the DRE in most states frown on Investors collecting commission.
However a acquisition fee of a flat rate that is agreed on first will be ok. You may want to requst part of it from your relative since they should not expect you to work for free.
