MLS access without Real Estate License?

[Edwin Parrilla]

Hi I'm a new member to bigger pockets and I've recently started executing my plan to get my first rental property by the end of this year. I wanted to know if there is any way to get access to the MLS w/o having the real estate license. I've read that a real estate agent could give you access by means of a portal but since I'm not going to be buying until the end of the year I don't want to just tell a realtor to give me access for educational purposes. I would really like to start analyzing real deals and see what's out there in different markets around the country. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
