]]> Comment on How to Get MLS Access Without a License by jp moses http://reitips.com/mls-access-without-license/comment-page-3/#comment-155558 jp moses Sat, 28 Apr 2012 03:54:00 +0000 http://reitips.com/?p=1871#comment-155558 Dear, “Guest”. No, the data available to the general public is not nearly as in-depth as what can be tapped directly in the MLS. It’s also not nearly as searchable. You cannot filter the data in nearly as useful or as powerful a way as the MLS allows. And I for one don’t have a distrust of Realtors, any more than I have a distrust of my fellow investors or plumbers or pastors. People are people…some are awesome, some are rotten, some are ignorant. There just seems to be a large number of Realtors who don’t “get” investors, and tend to see us a necessary evil to be tolerated rather than a vital part of the real estate economy. Regardless it’s certainly not all of them, and I don’t think anyone here is saying that. Oh, wait, I get it now. You were just trying to be snarky. Well played, “Guest”, well played. ;-) Dear, “Guest”. No, the data available to the general public is not nearly as in-depth as what can be tapped directly in the MLS.

So, investors want access to the data that is placed into a database and maintained by a group of people that they do not trust? There is a fairly simple solution. Instead of relying on the data in a database, compiled by Realtors for Realtors, you can actually get this information from the public records....on your own....for your own use. But, I guess that would require too much work. I’m confused. So, investors want access to the data that is placed into a database and maintained by a group of people that they do not trust?
