You may need to call a few( maybe more than a few) realtors and find out what they know about anyone becoming an unlicensed realtor assistant.

@Pat McGrathHi Pat,Wholesalers who are unlicensed want to work directly with a seller as a "FSBO".  

Please understand, I am not wanting free access to the MLS, I would gladly pay for it if that was possible as an unlicensed individual.

The problem with being an unlicensed wholesaler is that they are a dime a dozen today.

Be aware that in many states this would constitute unlicensed activity and can land your birddogs in jeopardy.

If so will they allow an unlicensed contractor to file for them?

@Christopher Bohar@Jay HinrichsPlenty of unlicensed people in PA advertise properties that they have equitable ownership in.

In New York State, can an unlicensed mortgage broker legally take a broker commission on a hard money/private mortgage on commercial property?

What unlicensed broker can match that or even come close?

Unsure in your state, but the MLS's I am aware of are tightening restrictions on "assistants" using MLS...an unlicensed individual is not permitted the same liberties, like managing property, submitting offers, or showing properties...and violations may lead to loss of licensure...just be careful3.
