Hey all,I want to share with you a problem I encountered and a solution I came up with.I am using the MLS as one of the sources of my deals searching.While the MLS is great, it doesn't offer me as an investor any filtering options, or actually any other 'advanced' option rather than viewing the listings.So, in the past few weeks I've been working hard on a solution for my problem and I am happy to share that I have a first working test version!
