Minnesota Investors-check this out. Might be valid in other states too.

I sat through half of my Minnesota Brokers Licensing classes this weekend. Learned that you can only do 4 or less transactions a year before you need a license. Also found out that Minnesota has a special license for people who only want to do transactions for themselves. It is called a limited brokers license. You don't need to pass any tests, or do yearly Continuing Education, you only need to pay the state money. And the best part of it? My instructor says that if you have one of these limited brokers licenses, you can join the Minneapolis Realtors Association and get access to the MLS (and I assume access to houses)

Has anyone had experience with this?
