I don't think someone would risk their MLS access by giving it to a stranger.

Would you lend a total stranger your famIly car to drive around for the weekend too ?

Don't expect them to fill it out in front of you - they don't know you - you're a stranger - you could be anyone.

You cannot connect with a prospect if you don't listen and understand them and empathize with their problems.I cannot state highly enough about the importance and value of doing field research before trying to write letters to strangers before you understand their world.

Scenario Two - Someone has inherited a million dollars and has no experience at all in which case they DO NOT need to be seeking internet advice from strangers, haha, they need to speak to an accountant to square them away. 

Whatever you do, don't let a bunch of strangers on the internet make life decisions for you.

Would you lend a stranger 45k for $500?

Also, my husband is worried for me going into strangers homes when knocking on doors (i.e. - people unleashing their dogs on me, etc.)

Hi @Tyler Veres Agreed, gone are the days when if you didn't get a place to rent by Jan/Feb then you'd be rooming with a stranger in a dump miles away from campus. 

(I say single, because -- to be blunt -- sometimes female loved ones aren't always psyched to live with four strangers for obvious reasons.)You could also buy a duplex or a home with a basement unit and short-term rent (or Airbnb) that space, which can bring in good cash flow and give you some privacy that taking on roommates can't always do.
