Access to MLS for Non-Licensed Investors??

Dear Fellow BP Members,

I have heard recently from David Green at the BP Conference that anyone can gain access the the MLS even if they're not a licensed agent or broker... and it has been my intention to gain access as an investor for some time now to use for things like looking up similar properties owned by the seller, and a number of other cool things.

So, would anyone have an insight into how to get access [username & password] for not licensed individuals?

Any info would be greatly appreciated!

@Peter Slivkoff, my local board of realtors provides MLS and lockbox access for associate members of the board who belong to a related profession such as appraisers and home inspectors. Im not sure what they pay, but I pay ~$400 per year for membership plus $45/month for MLS and lockbox access.

Alternatively, as an agent I can provide a portal to clients who want to do their own searches of the MLS. The search functions are not as robust as the ones I have as an agent, but they are decent.

There is also a public facing page where anyone can do some searches of the MLS, but again they are more basic searches. You aren't going to be searching closed listings for comparable sales or anything of that sort.
