Flat fee MLS
Anyone use flat fee MLS to list wholesale properties? Any suggestions on which one to use?

Hello Ed,
Have you thought about networking with a local REALTOR. You can arrange a strategic agreement to utilize the MLS and get some extra assistance for the same price or less. If you list a property with a REALTOR for a flat fee and get a buyer for your property the REALTOR has an opportunity to get multiple leads and everybody's happy. The more premium professionals may require more than leads and a flat fee, but with a little looking you can definitely find a good balance between cost and value for the service. I think it is wise to utilize the MLS. And if it's wise to use it I would like to think it is wiser to go direct. Direct would be those members with access to MLS at the local Real Estate Board. As an Investor time is of the essence and access to reliable information can be worth the price of admission.
