Which MLS to join for a new investor in CA with a RE license

[Nicholas Henry]

Hi Everyone,

I'm brand new to REI, so please bear with me!

So, I already have my real estate license, but I have zero experience (I don't want to be an agent). I'm looking to do my first REI deal soon, most likely buying a distressed SFR and doing light rehab to flip, but I'm open to other ideas. Researching like crazy, but still a total newb. I do have some savings, and I want to start off with relatively small/safe investments. Since I'm living in Oakland, CA, that means going out of town. I'm looking at some nearby markets (Sacramento, etc), but the Bay Area itself seems like it's out of my league - not just in terms of home prices, but in terms of finding a GC and getting work done in a reasonable amount of time.

That said, I'm trying to decide which MLS to sign up for, and I'm having trouble getting detailed info about the differences in options. I've hung my license with REeBrokers, and to sign up for an MLS, they're giving me the following choices in the photo below.

Any advice or info would be greatly, greatly appreciated!

Thanks!
