Real Estate License for Investors

[Ann Katherine Hoh]

Hi BP! I am a new investor and got my MA real estate license as a way to learn more about the industry. I originally thought I would pursue being a Boston area real estate agent full-time, but have decided it is not for me. However, I would like to keep my license active and figure out a way to still have access to MLS. It is my understanding that I need to work under a broker in order to do this and I am wondering if it is even worth it. Does anyone know of agents who have figured out a way to get MLS access through a broker if they are only using it for their own investment work? I have heard about other investors having their license and access, but I do not understand how they are accomplishing this. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!
