Can I get my real estate license if I ONLY want to be investing?

[Adam Bordes]

We're new investors, and I've been hearing about all of the benefits of getting my real estate license (mainly MLS access and the ability to make "investor-friendly" offers without annoying agents too much).

Here's my question:

If I do get my license, would I "need" to start working with a broker or company in order to gain access to the MLS?
