From what I have read online to gain access to the MLS you need to have a license and pay the fees associated with the MLS.

Hello BP,Not sure if this is the right forum to post this question, but I am wondering what are the requirements to gain access to the MLS?

I'm in the Indianapolis metro area, and am excited to connect with others on this site and hope to gain some valuable insights and connections, and contribute as much as i can to help others here as well!

While the same lending alternatives are available since the economic recovery gained traction in 2012 – Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, conduit lenders, banks and thrifts, and life insurance companies – each lender offers distinct advantages/disadvantages as it relates to loan structures, interest rates, closing costs, servicing, and their responses to the whims of the market.

Be consistent and try to gain access to niche lists that others may not.  

However, I don't like the idea of starting off owning property in another jurisdiction altogether, as I can't gain the hands-on experience and I'm sure there are some cross-jurisdictional tax implications that I'd rather not have to deal with at the moment.Any help that can be provided would be greatly appreciated.Thanks

This is a great website with a lot of information, I'm sure you'll gain a lot of knowledge here. 

I hope to gain whatever knowledge I can@Asim Iftikhar- I'm looking to learn how to wholesale properties.
