How do I get access to the MLS without being a realtor

[Joseph S.]

Hello all, hope you are all having a great weekend. I am currently saving up for a multi-family property. Finally in a position where I can save good enough money to get a couple of multifamily properties a year. I need a little mentorship or even someone who's willing to save me from making silly mistakes.

More than anything I really just want to get a good understanding of how to find great deals before they show up on Zillow.

@Joseph S. When something goes live on the MLS it goes live on Zillow as well. Access to the MLS won't t you deals before they go live it will get you access to live deals which Zillow also has.

We provide this as a free service to the public through our company website. You can see any property listed for sale, price per sq ft, days on market, average sale price, etc…

There are probably local brokerages doing the same thing in your area.

If you are looking for off market deals… that’s great but so is everyone else I have ever met. They would like the best off market deal, at a below market price, and they would like an investor focused agent to bring it to them on their first deal.

If you want off market you can, do direct marketing for it, go to auction, or get lucky.
