Access to the MLS for Investors in Northern Nevada

[Wesley Pittman]

Hello,

If there is another post has already answered this question please point me to it. I didn't see one so I thought I would ask.

In Nevada do you need to be a REALTOR (certified) to have access to the MLS or just state licensed? If you don't intend to actually offer services to other individuals as an agent or broker but rather just plan to use it for yourself as an investor, what is the legitimate and respectable way to go about getting access to the MLS?

I'm more than willing to take classes and get licensed, but I have no intent of practicing as an actual realtor since I have a W2-job-career-path. Are there any legal or ethical issues to be mindful as an investor that does have access to the MLS?

Thanks BP colleagues!
