Some benefits of getting your license are that you can:1) Get access to the MLS and new properties hitting the market before investors without their license2) When you sell the property you save on the sales commission you would normally pay your listing agentYou don't need a license though.

But the broker can talk other brokers on the team into sharing private listings and split commissions.I have been successful getting access to some deals with this strategy but the deals were never good enough to close.

How would shared access work?

Being 23 we don't have access to that kind of capital!

What's been most useful to me has been:-becoming a Pro member and getting increased access to the BP assets-getting on the weekly webinars with @Brandon Turner-listening to the podcasts-jumping in and devouring as much *free* info here on BP from the experienced investors as I can-connecting with colleagues here-attending meetings, networking, and getting in front of as many people as possibleJump in with both feet!  

Check out the resources page of BP for some more.MLS: Unless you already have access get with a realtor that understands the investor mindset and is willing to work with you. 

It's MY house, not a rental property, and the laws governing it are as such.3) I had much better interest rates on my mortgage than the LLC would have had access to.4) My mortgage interest is tax deductible.  

Hi Everyone,Does anybody know how I might be able to access the  Lis pendens in the public records in Brooklyn N.Y. ?

Im on podcast 11 and have plowed through a few books on real estate and business with more on the list (if any of you need books I have a library that is accessible online just message or email or text me).  

I also wanted direct access to MLS for running comps because the agent I was planning to use was immediately overwhelmed and didn't want to be involved anymore.
