I am trying to get access to the MLS to pull historical data on sales and find potential leads but am having difficulty.

Might be the best investment to gain the knowledge you need.undercapitzlized investors have no business trying this stuff.. it leads to innocent sellers getting harmed..  

The fact you don’t mention the strategy leads me to believe you already know it’s unethical at best and criminal at worst.

So it’s not the protection I was lead to believe...I appreciate the advice!

Continuing down this road will lead to nothing. 

You can also try probate leads as I know some people who have had some success with this.Good luck

All of this leads me to my question.

This resource, http://www.realestateiq.co/provides from the MLS data on off market deals, CMA, county data specifically to the Texas market.They charge monthly based on the geographic area you choose. I am not a agent...

Hello, I'm just getting started with some wholesaling and have a question about Facebook advertising, not in paid ads, but in posting inside certain Facebook groups.Does anyone have experience with this as a lead source?

If they’ve got a special occasion, such as an anniversary, it leads to more dialogue, and I usually send a bottle of sparkling cider and a Happy Anniversary note.
