In my market, giving someone access to the MLS who is not an authorized user is an MLS violation and can result in a fine up to $5,000.00 and being banned from the MLS for the user who shared their credentials. The point of the MLS is fair cooperation between licensed brokers and their agents. Licensed participants who have a fudiciuary duty to their client are the best way to go for people seeking to buy and sell a home. In my opinion, go to a local brokerage who is part of an association of realtors and has MLS access and ask them if they can help you join the association and MLS the right way. Other actual local participants of the MLS will struggle relationally with you if they find out you got into the system without a license and without paying.
We appreciate your comment, Caleb! We do think it is important to understand your local MLS Rules and regulations. Connecting with local brokerages who are members of the realtors association is a great way to access MLS data. In many markets, there are ways of obtaining direct access to the MLS if you don’t have your license. This includes getting unlicensed MLS Assistant access, unlicensed clerical access, and other names for a role within the MLS system that doesn’t require a license. That said, these roles always require approval from a licensed real estate broker and compliance with all respective rules and regulations. Since there are over 600 MLSs it is important to understand the appropriate that applies to your specific market! Cheers & Happy Wholesaling,Caleb! 🏡😊
Alex, Thank You for the information that you and your team gives out. I have learned so much by watching your video's these last couple of days. I defiantly have my homework cut out for me this weekend. Time to go and join some local Real Estate groups/associations in my area and get my craigs list ad up and going for MLS assistance access. Along with Finding cash buyers in my area by using information from another video on how to google those possible leads. Again, Thank You and your team.
Thank you for taking the time to share your support for our content, Stephen Gauf! Take what you've learned and run with it. Remember it's about offers submitted and this is a numbers game. Keep after it! Cheers! 🏠

Thanks for these well-articulated strategies to get MLS access without a license! Anyone can unlock serious value as an investor / wholesaler through the MLS with these tips!
Actually there is one national MLS access that connects all 50 state local realtor/MLS boards . Just saying because the bureaucracy of the local realtor boards are not going to tell or they are ignorant about it.. 👍🏼
Hey Luis! You are very welcome! Thanks for watching our vid on getting MLS Access as a wholesaler & real estate investor! Please Subscribe to our Channel here if you find it helpful: ua-cam.com/users/realestateskills Cheers & Happy Wholesaling, Luis! 🏘
Hi there! Yes, to gain MLS access, you typically need to work through an investor-friendly real estate agent who can provide you with assistant or limited access. They can help you search for properties, and with the right agent, you'll be able to streamline your investment process. Make sure the agent understands your goals so they can provide the best support! Hope this helps!💙
Thank you so much for your videos. They are so practical compared to others on UA-cam. I have a question: can someone be a real estate agent and a real estate wholesaler at the same time? Thanks
You're very welcome, Mary! Yes, you can be both at the same time! In fact, there are many benefits to being both. For starters, you have access to the MLS! You also have additional negotiation room when putting deals together. One of our Pro Wholesaler VIP students Michael just did an interview with us actually talking about exactly this situation. Here is a link: ua-cam.com/video/GKnCTBrfyqk/v-deo.html There is a ton of great information in there that I think you will dig! :) Cheers & Happy Wholesaling, Mary! 🏘🚀😊
When you have to use a buyers agent because the sellers agent will only work with another agent, are you transparent with your chosen buyers agent that you’ll be assigning the contract to a cash buyer?
Hey there Noloc! As Real Estate Investors we always first go into a deal as the principal (meaning, as the original buyer). If we choose to assign the contract rather than purchase the property and fix and flip it, then yes we'll absolutely be transparent in telling we'll be assigning the contract. 👍 BOTH the Seller's Agent & the Buyer's Agent will both receive their commissions when the deal is closed regardless if you buy the property or if your Cash Buyer buys the property! :) Cheers!
Glad you dig it! We put in a TON of time &effort into this video to make sure it was the BEST on UA-cam for getting MLS Access as a wholesaler & real estate investor! Cheers & Happy Wholesaling! 🏘📈
As a former RE Broker for 20+ years I question this, MLS Assistant Access by any name, since the MLS is owned and operated solely for the benefit of the realtors who pay for MLS access. It is controlled by the state and local boards with no entry for anyone not licensed to list, sell or do anything else with RE. What State are you in that allows that practice? Was I paying high fees year after year and having the boards lie to me and thousands of others while allowing "civilians" access? It wouldn't be the first time the boards lied to their members, but this time, I would really like to know. Thanks
@andysear There are a number of states that have unlicensed assistant access. Here is an article from the National Association of Realtors that has each state you can learn about each state: www.nar.realtor/being-a-realtor/personal-assistants/state-statutes-and-regulations-for-unlicensed-assistants Here is also an example of Florida's application to gain access: www.floridarealtors.org/law-ethics/library/unlicensed-assistants Keep in mind, this level of access does not give you the same level of access as a paying licensed member. For instance you cannot list properties for sale on the MLS or represent buyers. There is access, but functions and responsibilities differ and you have many more permissions as a broker than you would as an unlicensed assistant. 🙂 Cheers! 🏠
Hello, Dimples! We wrote a great article talking about how to wholesale real estate in Illinois here: www.realestateskills.com/blog/how-to-wholesale-illinois Give this a read and if you have questions don't hesitate to ask! 😊 Cheers & Happy Wholesaling, Dimples! 🏘
Excellent information Alex, you are a Godsend. I have a question, I live in SC I do have a first cousin real estate agent in Virginia. If I ask her, and she agreed, will I be able to see properties in SC? However, the WIFT maybe a challenge since she is not licensed in SC and I will not be able to refer her and close the listing. Thank you in advance and more power to you and your company ❤️
Hello again, janjay! You will need to work with an agent that has a subscription to the local MLS that you intend to work in. Your cousin wouldn't have access to your local market. Cheers! 🏠
Question: I have family in real estate in Miami, but that is not my local market, is there anything I should ask my family members in Miami that can help me in DEN?
Great question, @holidayhearth4756! Typically we recommend you start in your local market unless your market is particularly. The benefit of this strategy is you know a ton already about your local market such as where are the good areas and the areas to avoid. Having local market knowledge is extremely valuable when starting out. This also allows you to go see the property if needed to look for criteria that matches what your cash buyers actually want. If you do choose the Miami market it would be helpful to have someone that can meet with agents that want to show the properties on the fly. This can be a family member or preferably your cash buyers that you've already built a relationship with. Cheers! 🏠
There is a lot of misinformation and unfortunately bad wholesalers out there, @D0P35! It is usually best to refer to yourself as a real estate investor. This isn't a lie because that is exactly what you're doing! Wholesaling is just one exit strategy. As you evolve as a real estate investor and start doing fix and flips or even buying and holding properties you will still have wholesaling as a possible exit strategy in our tool belt. Cheers! 🏠
Hello I have a question please, i tried the options since a couple of days and its hard getting mls assistant access from strangers, what other suggestions do you recommend?
@rinadalbarjas8883 It might take you a little bit of time to get MLS assistant access and that's okay. Just use Redfin or Zillow for the time being until you build up that relationship with agents in your area.
Hey amazing video👍👍me and my buddy want to whole sale houses to make some money, would you recommend for us to start off working to together? like would it be harder, would it be easier??
Hey Colton! Appreciate the comment! Working with a partner always has it's pros & cons! Working together in the beginning can be great & fun. You can wholesale houses still without starting a legit business and split the profits with each other. Just know that people can change over time so make sure you're both in this for the long haul! I also recommend that if one of you doesn't want to keep going after you have already started the business together, then the other partner should be able to buy the shares of the partner who wants to leave. This is only fair (in my eyes) and so the person who wants to stay can always keep the business moving regardless if one partner doesn't want to do it anymore. Hope this bit of insight helps! Cheers & Happy Wholesaling, Colton! 🏘 P.S. Definitely SUBSCRIBE to the channel if you haven't yet! We'll be coming out with more great content around wholesaling, flipping, & real estate investing :)
In other videos you have suggested the real estate agent you are buying from to represent you and if not, ask them for a referral. When would I be able to use my family member/family friend to represent me if they give me access to an MLS? Thank you!
Hello CJ! When considering using a family member or friend as your real estate agent, there are a few factors to keep in mind. Ensure they are licensed and experienced, consider potential conflicts of interest, assess their professionalism and availability, and prioritize open communication and trust. It's crucial to strike a balance between personal relationships and professional considerations to ensure a positive experience. Consult with multiple professionals and weigh your options before making a decision. Cheers! 🏠😊
i am kind of confused with watch you said, you sold property when you wasn’t licensed… I know Florida is you can not get commission or get paid for any real estate transaction if you don’t have license… So this video still apply for florida as well?
Hey there, Flo! Thanks for the comment and question! Yes, you can definitely wholesale real estate in Florida. We actually wrote a whole article on how to do this and here is a link: www.realestateskills.com/blog/how-to-wholesale-florida We think you will dig the article and it will answer any more questions you have! You don't need to have a license in Florida to wholesale real estate because you are not collecting a commission but rather a wholesale fee from your cash buyers. Cheers & Happy Wholesaling, Flo!🏡😊
Hello, Herm! It is common that many properties will not be free and clear at the time of contract formation. This can be for multiple reasons but most commonly people will have a mortgage against the property. Typically in the contract, there will be a clause that states that the title will be delivered free of liens and marketable by the time of closing. If for whatever reason it isn’t, the assignee or yourself as the buyer will be able to terminate the contract if you choose to. Cheers!🏠😊
Hello, @yazminchavez9207! Great job making a listing , but make sure you're actively reaching out to the agents as well. If you check out our video that goes over step by step how to wholesale using the MLS Offer System, Step 4 goes over talking with the agent. Here is a link to that video: ua-cam.com/video/JFnUABPy-A8/v-deo.html Make sure to take notes on what is important to ask the agent to get a better understanding of the listing. Cheers! 🏠
Hello, Rafael MB! Sorry you're experiencing issues with MLS access. Typically that code is related to a permission issue. Don't let this slow you down if you're still having issues with your MLS and just use Redfin. Cheers! 🏠
Hi Alex I had my first call with you guys today but sadly wouldn’t do vip but was recommended to start off by watching vids and trying to complete my first deal from there. Where do you believe I should start?
Hello there, Geo! I would start with our "How to wholesale Real estate step-by-step" video. Here is a link: ua-cam.com/video/JFnUABPy-A8/v-deo.html As you have questions, it is always good to look at our other videos, look in the comments if someone else asked the same question, or ask the question if you have not found your answer there. Cheers & happy Wholesaling, Geo!
Happy to answer your question about how to get real estate deals under market value, Randy! For starters, we’re looking at fix and flip homes. These houses need a wide range of repairs before they can be lived in. One strategy we highly recommend is our day 0 strategy! This requires you to gain access to the MLS as you just learned and be one of the first people to put in an offer. It’s also very important that you know your numbers so you can identify what is a good deal that fits into your cash buyer's criteria. As far as them getting multiple offers above list price, you will be giving a real & no B.S. offer to them that you won’t be changing at the last minute! This is valuable to the listing agent because you save them time & won’t be a tire kicker like a lot of other wannabe wholesalers & investors out there. Hope this helps! Cheers & Happy Wholesaling, Randy! 🏘🏘
Hello, Trent! Yes, in Florida, as in most U.S. states, you typically need to be associated with a real estate brokerage to gain access to the Multiple Listing Service (MLS). Cheers! 🏠
Yes, we are located in San Diego but we do deals all across the Nation! We’re so happy to hear you’re getting into the real estate investment game and using wholesaling to start that journey. Wholesaling is a great way to get your start and to build up capital to invest into buy & holds (like multi-family properties). You're definitely on the right path! Here's a link to a video where I cover the common evolutionary path of a real estate investor. Pretty sure you'll enjoy this one! Here's the link: ua-cam.com/video/-7PjhqO8GR0/v-deo.html Also, if you’re looking to go into more depth on getting your start wholesaling, then check out our free training here: realestateskills.com/training?el=ytoaccess Cheers & Happy Wholesaling, T! 🏘🚀
My friend who is a licensed real estate agent in New Hampshire is willing to allow me to use MLS Assistant Access, yet he does not know who to contact in order to gain access. Any help?
That's great that your friend is willing to provide you with MLS Assistant Access, John! To gain access to the MLS (Multiple Listing Service), typically, you would need to go through the official channels and contact the local real estate board or association that governs the MLS in New Hampshire. Here are a few steps you can take to obtain MLS Assistant Access: Start by researching the specific real estate board or association that oversees the MLS in New Hampshire. You can search online or reach out to your friend for information on the relevant organization. Once you have identified the governing body, visit their website or contact them directly to inquire about the process for obtaining assistant access to the MLS. They will be able to guide you through the necessary steps and provide any required forms or documentation. There may be specific requirements or qualifications to meet before gaining access. They might ask for proof of your affiliation with a licensed real estate agent, such as a letter of authorization from your friend or a sponsorship from a licensed agent. Follow any instructions provided by the real estate board or association, which may include filling out an application, paying a fee, and attending any required training or orientation sessions. By following these steps and working directly with the governing body, you should be able to obtain the necessary access to the MLS Assistant platform in New Hampshire. Good luck, and I hope you find it helpful for your real estate endeavors! Cheers & Happy Wholesaling, John! 🏠🚀
Hello again Randy! Glad to see you’re liking the content! Each deal will vary but typically you will be asked for the EMD (Earnest Money Deposit) within 72 hours of getting the executed contract. Usually within this timeframe your cash buyer will have the contract assigned to them and they will take care of the EMD. If you need a bit more time to assign the contract you would put down the EMD which if you read your contract (You should always read your contract before signing) - we want it to say that the deposit is refundable. You also want to make sure you have an inspection contingency in the contract (Typically 7-14 days) in order to stay protected. I cannot emphasize this enough but it is very important to line up and qualify your cash buyers before you set up your deals and not scramble around trying to find one after you have the contract executed. Here are two links for you. The first will show you how to find cash buyers and the second will show you how to talk to cash buyers when wholesaling real estate. ua-cam.com/video/YzWGQJPKv6c/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/yPDBNoKgIUo/v-deo.html Cheers and Happy Wholesaling, Randy! 🏘🚀
So you call the selling agent to talk the deal over then use your agent that gave you access to write the deal? Is that normal or ok with the selling agent often?
Hey Wes, appreciate you checking out the video and leaving a comment! Yes, we always call the selling agent to talk about the deal and to get as much information about the deal as possible (talk numbers, repairs, seller's motivation, etc.,). If the selling/listing agent is not open to writing up the offer THEN we go ahead and have the agent that helped you get access write up the offer! :) It is definitely normal for us & our clients that have doing this for 10+ years in order to get wholesale, flip, and buy & hold type deals from the MLS and from working with real estate agents! Cheers & Happy Wholesaling! 🏘 P.S. Please SUBSCRIBE to the channel if you found this helpful :) We'll always be coming out with more great content around wholesaling & real estate investing!
Hey Alex, quick question. I hear people say you don't need money to start wholesaling, if that's so how do you show proof of funds? maybe a stupid question but I'm just trying to learn. thanks
Hey seaz3277, not a stupid question at all and kudos to you for asking my friend! We highly recommend you watch this video that we put out first going over how to do exactly that! I will include a link to it below. Link here: ➡️ ua-cam.com/video/RGdJ-bquL5E/v-deo.html We hope you find this helpful and if you have more questions at all put them in the comment section below! Cheers & Happy Wholesaling! 🏡
Hey Real Estate Skills team! When calling an agent who’s representing a distressed home that you want to wholesale, do you tell them you’re planning to wholesale it or would you just say you’re an investor?
Hey there Aero, happy to see you’re getting value from our content! When you leave comments it tells us we’re doing something right! It’s important to refer to yourself as a real estate investor because that is exactly what you are! There is a lot of misinformation out there about wholesaling which can lead to a general misunderstanding of the process and value we provide. We here at real estate have 10+ years of experience wholesaling real estate and aim to educate people on how the process actually works and how to do it correctly/professionally! If you want to take a deeper look into wholesaling here is a link to our free training! ➡️ realestateskills.com/training?el=ytoaccess Cheers & Happy Wholesaling! 🏘
I'm licensed as a real estate agent in CA & NV. Can I go direct to the association in the state I want to get MLS access to and pay for this MLS access? I can also call to find out. Just wanted to know if you know.
Hello, Jennifer! Calling the specific association and getting instructions direct from the source would be the best thing to do since every MLS has different rules. Generally, you need to be licensed in that state and a member of the local associations to access the MLS. Certain states have license reciprocity and, therefore, may have exemptions. I hope this helps! Cheers! 🏠
@@RealEstateSkills Michigan requires their state license and does not do reciprocal MLS. I belong to CRMLS which is one of the largest MLS and have a lot of areas in CA and even in Hawaii.
If I gain MLS Assistant Access, does that mean I'm applying for a job as an assistant, in other words Do I have have to work for a real estate agent and make my wholesale business my side hustle?????
Hello, Polloloco! MLS Assistant Access typically refers to a type of limited access provided by some Multiple Listing Services (MLS) for individuals who are not licensed real estate agents but want to access property listing data for specific purposes, such as research or personal use. It is not the same as applying for a job as a real estate assistant. You might provide some service to the brokerage in order to get that access but that is entirely dependent on what you negotiate. Cheers! 🏠
Hey there, June! We teach people how to gain access to the MLS within our Pro Wholesaler VIP Program. You also gain access to the community, which provides a ton of coaching and support. Cheers & Happy Wholesaling, June! 🏘🚀
The listing agent can’t go with your offer because they like you more because it isn’t their decision. The owner of the home decides which offer to take.
If your offer and another offer are at the same exact price - and the Listing agent LIKES & TRUSTS you more because you bring more CREDIBILITY to the table - which offer do you think the Listing Agent would ADVISE their seller to accept? The Listing agent would absolutely encourage the seller to accept your offer. At the end of the day, it is the sellers decision to choose. However, Listing Agents definitely can influence this decision.
Hi Alex, I really enjoy the information and videos you put out; good stuff. Regarding this video, and particularly the Craigslist ad approach, do you place under (homes/real estate for sale), or (homes/real estate wanted)? Thank you very much.
Hey Zach! Glad you enjoyed the info. Appreciate it. Typically, post under homes/real estate for sale. But test both. Definitely won't hurt! Be sure to download the resource that goes along with this video my friend: realestateskills.com/mlsresource?el=ytoaccess Cheers & Happy Wholesaling!
Hello, Stanislov Didenko! We appreciate your observation. While it's true that not everyone shares their success stories in the comments, it doesn't diminish the effectiveness of the methods we teach as we've used them for 10+ years in our own business. Success in gaining MLS access as an assistant can vary based on individual circumstances and local requirements. If you have any questions or need guidance on the process, feel free to ask. We're here to help! Cheers! 🏠
Hey Nashera, it looks like the MLS in that region is the Canopy MLS. You just have to be resourceful and look around on their website of: go.canopymls.com/join/ The MLS Unlicensed Assistant Access Form is right there! Google's your best friend ;)
Hey there, Tiffany! Thank you for the kind words. We put a ton of effort and experience into these videos! As far as finding the MLS in Nevada, there will be multiple. I suggest looking at Redfin and finding a few properties in the area of Nevada you would like to wholesale in. Once you've done that, you can look at who the listing agent is and what source (MLS) it came from. It's important to note that some properties may be listed in multiple MLS, but you will find which MLS best fits your desired area. Cheers & Happy Wholesaling, Tiffany! 🏘😎
Hello, Miftakho! You can use Zillow, Redfin, etc., and then look at the source section for the houses you're looking at and see what MLS they are coming from. There is usually more than one MLS in any given area, and you may find that properties are listed on multiple MLSs. Cheers & happy Wholesaling!🏠
I have a broker that is willing to work with me on Bright MLS. But it says “A person who assists specific individual(s) within the office” for the Personal Assistant Application and he is worried about that since I don’t work at his brokerage. Is there a way to work around that?
Hello, Xander! It's understandable that your broker may be concerned about the language on the Personal Assistant Application that states "A person who assists specific individual(s) within the office" if you don't work at their brokerage. However, there may be some ways to work around this issue. First, you could consider working out an agreement with your broker where you are officially affiliated with their brokerage as a virtual assistant or independent contractor. This could allow you to be included on their application as a personal assistant and have access to the Bright MLS system. Alternatively, you could explore other options for accessing the MLS, such as through a third-party MLS service or a co-listing agreement with an agent who already has access to the MLS. However, it's important to note that these options may come with additional fees or limitations compared to having direct access to the MLS through your own personal assistant application. Ultimately, the best course of action may depend on your specific situation and the policies of your local MLS. I would recommend discussing your options further with your broker or reaching out to the MLS directly for guidance on how to proceed. Cheers & Happy Wholesaling, Xander! 🏘🚀
If it’s on the market, why would a buyer buy it from me instead of just going directly to agent? Is the assumption I get it under contract first so they can’t? I work with a probate real estate agent and anytime I put an offer on. He always tells me he needs to let it sit on the market at least five days.
Hi Matthew! Great question! Here’s why a buyer would buy from you instead of going directly to the agent: You Control the Deal: Once you secure the contract, you hold the right to assign it to another buyer, giving you control of the deal. Convenience for Buyers: Many cash buyers prefer wholesalers to handle negotiations and contracts, saving them time and hassle. Profit for Everyone: Buyers still get a good deal, and you earn your wholesale fee by securing a contract below market value. Regarding the five-day wait with probate agents, it’s common to allow fair exposure to other buyers before accepting offers. Once you have it under contract, it’s yours to assign. Hope this helps!💙
One question I have is, I’ve heard that some agents and title companies don’t like and don’t work with. Re Assigning or double closing contracts. What do we do then. Cause by the end it could be too late?
Hey there! Thanks for commenting! Sure hope you enjoyed the video! We haven't seen that to be the case. The reality is that title companies & real estate agents do not like working with people who have no idea what they're doing. But this is literally the case for any normal human being...nobody wants to work with someone who causes headaches and doesn't know what they're doing. Title Companies & Real Estate Agents are as incentivized as you to get a deal closed because they only get paid when the deal closes. They'll absolutely work with you if you know what you're doing! This is the difference between being an amateur vs. being a pro. Amateurs have no idea what they're doing; Pros know exactly what they're doing. This is why we call our flagship program Pro Wholesaler! ;) Be a PRO at all that you do and there will be people lining up to work with you for years. Here's a link all about our program if you want to see what some of the Nation's top wholesalers are doing: realestateskills.com/pro-wholesaler?el=ytoaccess Cheers & Happy Wholesaling! 🏠
Tell them you are a real estate investor with multiple exit strategies such buy/hold, fix/flix, pass it on to a partner/another investor and wholesaling.
@@Joseph-zj2mq This is what I am reading on Google: All Craigslist postings are free, except for: Job categories in the US and parts of CA -$10-75 (fee varies by area).

In my market, giving someone access to the MLS who is not an authorized user is an MLS violation and can result in a fine up to $5,000.00 and being banned from the MLS for the user who shared their credentials. The point of the MLS is fair cooperation between licensed brokers and their agents. Licensed participants who have a fudiciuary duty to their client are the best way to go for people seeking to buy and sell a home. In my opinion, go to a local brokerage who is part of an association of realtors and has MLS access and ask them if they can help you join the association and MLS the right way. Other actual local participants of the MLS will struggle relationally with you if they find out you got into the system without a license and without paying.
We appreciate your comment, Caleb! We do think it is important to understand your local MLS Rules and regulations. Connecting with local brokerages who are members of the realtors association is a great way to access MLS data.
In many markets, there are ways of obtaining direct access to the MLS if you don’t have your license. This includes getting unlicensed MLS Assistant access, unlicensed clerical access, and other names for a role within the MLS system that doesn’t require a license.
That said, these roles always require approval from a licensed real estate broker and compliance with all respective rules and regulations. Since there are over 600 MLSs it is important to understand the appropriate that applies to your specific market!
Cheers & Happy Wholesaling,Caleb! 🏡😊

Alex, Thank You for the information that you and your team gives out. I have learned so much by watching your video's these last couple of days.

In short, you need to ask an investor friendly agent to give you MLS assistant access. You need to go through an agent.
Hi there!
Yes, to gain MLS access, you typically need to work through an investor-friendly real estate agent who can provide you with assistant or limited access. They can help you search for properties, and with the right agent, you'll be able to streamline your investment process. Make sure the agent understands your goals so they can provide the best support!
Hope this helps!💙
Thank you so much for your videos. They are so practical compared to others on UA-cam. I have a question: can someone be a real estate agent and a real estate wholesaler at the same time? Thanks
You're very welcome, Mary! Yes, you can be both at the same time! In fact, there are many benefits to being both.
For starters, you have access to the MLS! You also have additional negotiation room when putting deals together. One of our Pro Wholesaler VIP students Michael just did an interview with us actually talking about exactly this situation. Here is a link: ua-cam.com/video/GKnCTBrfyqk/v-deo.html
There is a ton of great information in there that I think you will dig! :)
Cheers & Happy Wholesaling, Mary! 🏘🚀😊
When you have to use a buyers agent because the sellers agent will only work with another agent, are you transparent with your chosen buyers agent that you’ll be assigning the contract to a cash buyer?
Hey there Noloc! As Real Estate Investors we always first go into a deal as the principal (meaning, as the original buyer). If we choose to assign the contract rather than purchase the property and fix and flip it, then yes we'll absolutely be transparent in telling we'll be assigning the contract. 👍
BOTH the Seller's Agent & the Buyer's Agent will both receive their commissions when the deal is closed regardless if you buy the property or if your Cash Buyer buys the property! :)
Cheers!
Wow, this is amazing!!!
Glad you dig it! We put in a TON of time &effort into this video to make sure it was the BEST on UA-cam for getting MLS Access as a wholesaler & real estate investor!
Cheers & Happy Wholesaling! 🏘📈
As a former RE Broker for 20+ years I question this, MLS Assistant Access by any name, since the MLS is owned and operated solely for the benefit of the realtors who pay for MLS access. It is controlled by the state and local boards with no entry for anyone not licensed to list, sell or do anything else with RE. What State are you in that allows that practice? Was I paying high fees year after year and having the boards lie to me and thousands of others while allowing "civilians" access? It wouldn't be the first time the boards lied to their members, but this time, I would really like to know. Thanks
@andysear There are a number of states that have unlicensed assistant access.
Here is an article from the National Association of Realtors that has each state you can learn about each state:
www.nar.realtor/being-a-realtor/personal-assistants/state-statutes-and-regulations-for-unlicensed-assistants
Here is also an example of Florida's application to gain access:
www.floridarealtors.org/law-ethics/library/unlicensed-assistants
Keep in mind, this level of access does not give you the same level of access as a paying licensed member. For instance you cannot list properties for sale on the MLS or represent buyers.
There is access, but functions and responsibilities differ and you have many more permissions as a broker than you would as an unlicensed assistant. 🙂
Cheers! 🏠

Excellent information Alex, you are a Godsend. I have a question, I live in SC I do have a first cousin real estate agent in Virginia. If I ask her, and she agreed, will I be able to see properties in SC? However, the WIFT maybe a challenge since she is not licensed in SC and I will not be able to refer her and close the listing. Thank you in advance and more power to you and your company ❤️
Hello again, janjay! You will need to work with an agent that has a subscription to the local MLS that you intend to work in. Your cousin wouldn't have access to your local market.

I can’t find the assistant document for the life of me. I live in South Carolina
Hello, Brett! Did you find and build a relationship with an agent already that wants to give you access?
Cheers! 🏠
@@RealEstateSkills yes I have. A friend of mine has a friend who is in real estate and we talked to him
@brettevans6217 That's awesome! They just have to check with their brokerage to make request they give you assistant access.
Question: I have family in real estate in Miami, but that is not my local market, is there anything I should ask my family members in Miami that can help me in DEN?
Great question, @holidayhearth4756! Typically we recommend you start in your local market unless your market is particularly. The benefit of this strategy is you know a ton already about your local market such as where are the good areas and the areas to avoid.
Having local market knowledge is extremely valuable when starting out. This also allows you to go see the property if needed to look for criteria that matches what your cash buyers actually want.
If you do choose the Miami market it would be helpful to have someone that can meet with agents that want to show the properties on the fly.
This can be a family member or preferably your cash buyers that you've already built a relationship with.
Cheers! 🏠
Is it OK if I tell then I'm a wholesaler
There is a lot of misinformation and unfortunately bad wholesalers out there, @D0P35! It is usually best to refer to yourself as a real estate investor. This isn't a lie because that is exactly what you're doing!
Wholesaling is just one exit strategy. As you evolve as a real estate investor and start doing fix and flips or even buying and holding properties you will still have wholesaling as a possible exit strategy in our tool belt.
Cheers! 🏠
Hello
I have a question please, i tried the options since a couple of days and its hard getting mls assistant access from strangers, what other suggestions do you recommend?
@rinadalbarjas8883 It might take you a little bit of time to get MLS assistant access and that's okay. Just use Redfin or Zillow for the time being until you build up that relationship with agents in your area.
Hey amazing video👍👍me and my buddy want to whole sale houses to make some money, would you recommend for us to start off working to together? like would it be harder, would it be easier??
Hey Colton! Appreciate the comment! Working with a partner always has it's pros & cons! Working together in the beginning can be great & fun. You can wholesale houses still without starting a legit business and split the profits with each other. Just know that people can change over time so make sure you're both in this for the long haul! I also recommend that if one of you doesn't want to keep going after you have already started the business together, then the other partner should be able to buy the shares of the partner who wants to leave. This is only fair (in my eyes) and so the person who wants to stay can always keep the business moving regardless if one partner doesn't want to do it anymore.
Hope this bit of insight helps!
Cheers & Happy Wholesaling, Colton! 🏘

In other videos you have suggested the real estate agent you are buying from to represent you and if not, ask them for a referral. When would I be able to use my family member/family friend to represent me if they give me access to an MLS? Thank you!
Hello CJ! When considering using a family member or friend as your real estate agent, there are a few factors to keep in mind. Ensure they are licensed and experienced, consider potential conflicts of interest, assess their professionalism and availability, and prioritize open communication and trust.
It's crucial to strike a balance between personal relationships and professional considerations to ensure a positive experience. Consult with multiple professionals and weigh your options before making a decision.
Cheers! 🏠😊
i am kind of confused with watch you said, you sold property when you wasn’t licensed… I know Florida is you can not get commission or get paid for any real estate transaction if you don’t have license… So this video still apply for florida as well?
Hey there, Flo! Thanks for the comment and question! Yes, you can definitely wholesale real estate in Florida. We actually wrote a whole article on how to do this and here is a link:
www.realestateskills.com/blog/how-to-wholesale-florida
We think you will dig the article and it will answer any more questions you have!
You don't need to have a license in Florida to wholesale real estate because you are not collecting a commission but rather a wholesale fee from your cash buyers.
Cheers & Happy Wholesaling, Flo!🏡😊
Do all houses have to be "free" and clear in order to sell the contract?
Hello, Herm! It is common that many properties will not be free and clear at the time of contract formation. This can be for multiple reasons but most commonly people will have a mortgage against the property.
Typically in the contract, there will be a clause that states that the title will be delivered free of liens and marketable by the time of closing. If for whatever reason it isn’t, the assignee or yourself as the buyer will be able to terminate the contract if you choose to.
Cheers!🏠😊
I posted my first craigslist ad so nervous not even sure how to talk to the agent when and if they contact me
Hello, @yazminchavez9207! Great job making a listing , but make sure you're actively reaching out to the agents as well. If you check out our video that goes over step by step how to wholesale using the MLS Offer System, Step 4 goes over talking with the agent.
Here is a link to that video: ua-cam.com/video/JFnUABPy-A8/v-deo.html
Make sure to take notes on what is important to ask the agent to get a better understanding of the listing.
Cheers! 🏠
I am trying to enter the MLS but as soon as i try to search houses in any specific place it takes me to a new window which says 403 forbidden.
Hello, Rafael MB! Sorry you're experiencing issues with MLS access. Typically that code is related to a permission issue. Don't let this slow you down if you're still having issues with your MLS and just use Redfin.
Cheers! 🏠

thats great so how to get undervalued houses when they r getting so many
offers for more than its worth fof multyple offers higher thanks
Happy to answer your question about how to get real estate deals under market value, Randy! For starters, we’re looking at fix and flip homes. These houses need a wide range of repairs before they can be lived in.
One strategy we highly recommend is our day 0 strategy! This requires you to gain access to the MLS as you just learned and be one of the first people to put in an offer. It’s also very important that you know your numbers so you can identify what is a good deal that fits into your cash buyer's criteria.
As far as them getting multiple offers above list price, you will be giving a real & no B.S. offer to them that you won’t be changing at the last minute! This is valuable to the listing agent because you save them time & won’t be a tire kicker like a lot of other wannabe wholesalers & investors out there.
Hope this helps!
Cheers & Happy Wholesaling, Randy! 🏘🏘
Hi quick question if I get real estate license in Florida do I have to be associated with a brokerage company to get access to MlS

My friend who is a licensed real estate agent in New Hampshire is willing to allow me to use MLS Assistant Access, yet he does not know who to contact in order to gain access. Any help?
That's great that your friend is willing to provide you with MLS Assistant Access, John! To gain access to the MLS (Multiple Listing Service), typically, you would need to go through the official channels and contact the local real estate board or association that governs the MLS in New Hampshire.
Here are a few steps you can take to obtain MLS Assistant Access:
Start by researching the specific real estate board or association that oversees the MLS in New Hampshire. You can search online or reach out to your friend for information on the relevant organization.
Once you have identified the governing body, visit their website or contact them directly to inquire about the process for obtaining assistant access to the MLS. They will be able to guide you through the necessary steps and provide any required forms or documentation.
There may be specific requirements or qualifications to meet before gaining access. They might ask for proof of your affiliation with a licensed real estate agent, such as a letter of authorization from your friend or a sponsorship from a licensed agent.
Follow any instructions provided by the real estate board or association, which may include filling out an application, paying a fee, and attending any required training or orientation sessions.
By following these steps and working directly with the governing body, you should be able to obtain the necessary access to the MLS Assistant platform in New Hampshire. Good luck, and I hope you find it helpful for your real estate endeavors!
Cheers & Happy Wholesaling, John! 🏠🚀
plus how much money do u tie up on each offer thanks
Hello again Randy! Glad to see you’re liking the content!
Each deal will vary but typically you will be asked for the EMD (Earnest Money Deposit) within 72 hours of getting the executed contract. Usually within this timeframe your cash buyer will have the contract assigned to them and they will take care of the EMD.
If you need a bit more time to assign the contract you would put down the EMD which if you read your contract (You should always read your contract before signing) - we want it to say that the deposit is refundable. You also want to make sure you have an inspection contingency in the contract (Typically 7-14 days) in order to stay protected.
I cannot emphasize this enough but it is very important to line up and qualify your cash buyers before you set up your deals and not scramble around trying to find one after you have the contract executed.
Here are two links for you. The first will show you how to find cash buyers and the second will show you how to talk to cash buyers when wholesaling real estate.

So you call the selling agent to talk the deal over then use your agent that gave you access to write the deal? Is that normal or ok with the selling agent often?
Hey Wes, appreciate you checking out the video and leaving a comment!
Yes, we always call the selling agent to talk about the deal and to get as much information about the deal as possible (talk numbers, repairs, seller's motivation, etc.,). If the selling/listing agent is not open to writing up the offer THEN we go ahead and have the agent that helped you get access write up the offer! :)
It is definitely normal for us & our clients that have doing this for 10+ years in order to get wholesale, flip, and buy & hold type deals from the MLS and from working with real estate agents!

Tell them you’re a real estate investor
I'm licensed as a real estate agent in CA & NV. Can I go direct to the association in the state I want to get MLS access to and pay for this MLS access? I can also call to find out. Just wanted to know if you know.
Hello, Jennifer! Calling the specific association and getting instructions direct from the source would be the best thing to do since every MLS has different rules. Generally, you need to be licensed in that state and a member of the local associations to access the MLS. Certain states have license reciprocity and, therefore, may have exemptions.
I hope this helps!
Cheers! 🏠
@@RealEstateSkills Michigan requires their state license and does not do reciprocal MLS. I belong to CRMLS which is one of the largest MLS and have a lot of areas in CA and even in Hawaii.
If I gain MLS Assistant Access, does that mean I'm applying for a job as an assistant, in other words Do I have have to work for a real estate agent and make my wholesale business my side hustle?????
Hello, Polloloco! MLS Assistant Access typically refers to a type of limited access provided by some Multiple Listing Services (MLS) for individuals who are not licensed real estate agents but want to access property listing data for specific purposes, such as research or personal use. It is not the same as applying for a job as a real estate assistant.
You might provide some service to the brokerage in order to get that access but that is entirely dependent on what you negotiate.

My uncle is a agent so i should be fine
That's an awesome contact to have and potential partner, @CashFlowLegend!
The listing agent can’t go with your offer because they like you more because it isn’t their decision. The owner of the home decides which offer to take.
If your offer and another offer are at the same exact price - and the Listing agent LIKES & TRUSTS you more because you bring more CREDIBILITY to the table - which offer do you think the Listing Agent would ADVISE their seller to accept?
The Listing agent would absolutely encourage the seller to accept your offer.
At the end of the day, it is the sellers decision to choose. However, Listing Agents definitely can influence this decision.
Hi Alex, I really enjoy the information and videos you put out; good stuff. Regarding this video, and particularly the Craigslist ad approach, do you place under (homes/real estate for sale), or (homes/real estate wanted)? Thank you very much.
Hey Zach! Glad you enjoyed the info. Appreciate it. Typically, post under homes/real estate for sale. But test both. Definitely won't hurt!

Hey Alex thanks 4 being a great teacher I don't see the MLS in Nevada
Hey there, Tiffany! Thank you for the kind words. We put a ton of effort and experience into these videos!
As far as finding the MLS in Nevada, there will be multiple. I suggest looking at Redfin and finding a few properties in the area of Nevada you would like to wholesale in. Once you've done that, you can look at who the listing agent is and what source (MLS) it came from. It's important to note that some properties may be listed in multiple MLS, but you will find which MLS best fits your desired area.
Cheers & Happy Wholesaling, Tiffany! 🏘😎
Thank you so much. I live in Michigan. What is MLS website for area code 49085. Thank you.
Hello, Miftakho! You can use Zillow, Redfin, etc., and then look at the source section for the houses you're looking at and see what MLS they are coming from. There is usually more than one MLS in any given area, and you may find that properties are listed on multiple MLSs.

I have a broker that is willing to work with me on Bright MLS. But it says “A person who assists specific individual(s) within the office” for the Personal Assistant Application and he is worried about that since I don’t work at his brokerage. Is there a way to work around that?
The Broker is worried about committing fraud / participating in a conspiracy to commit fraud... I am not surprised they are concerned.
Hello, Xander! It's understandable that your broker may be concerned about the language on the Personal Assistant Application that states "A person who assists specific individual(s) within the office" if you don't work at their brokerage. However, there may be some ways to work around this issue.
First, you could consider working out an agreement with your broker where you are officially affiliated with their brokerage as a virtual assistant or independent contractor. This could allow you to be included on their application as a personal assistant and have access to the Bright MLS system.
Alternatively, you could explore other options for accessing the MLS, such as through a third-party MLS service or a co-listing agreement with an agent who already has access to the MLS. However, it's important to note that these options may come with additional fees or limitations compared to having direct access to the MLS through your own personal assistant application.
Ultimately, the best course of action may depend on your specific situation and the policies of your local MLS. I would recommend discussing your options further with your broker or reaching out to the MLS directly for guidance on how to proceed.
Cheers & Happy Wholesaling, Xander! 🏘🚀
If it’s on the market, why would a buyer buy it from me instead of just going directly to agent? Is the assumption I get it under contract first so they can’t?
I work with a probate real estate agent and anytime I put an offer on. He always tells me he needs to let it sit on the market at least five days.
Hi Matthew!
Great question! Here’s why a buyer would buy from you instead of going directly to the agent:
You Control the Deal: Once you secure the contract, you hold the right to assign it to another buyer, giving you control of the deal.
Convenience for Buyers: Many cash buyers prefer wholesalers to handle negotiations and contracts, saving them time and hassle.
Profit for Everyone: Buyers still get a good deal, and you earn your wholesale fee by securing a contract below market value.
Regarding the five-day wait with probate agents, it’s common to allow fair exposure to other buyers before accepting offers. Once you have it under contract, it’s yours to assign.
Hope this helps!💙
@@RealEstateSkills Super helpful. Thank you for the response and love your content.
One question I have is, I’ve heard that some agents and title companies don’t like and don’t work with. Re Assigning or double closing contracts. What do we do then. Cause by the end it could be too late?
Hey there! Thanks for commenting! Sure hope you enjoyed the video!
We haven't seen that to be the case. The reality is that title companies & real estate agents do not like working with people who have no idea what they're doing. But this is literally the case for any normal human being...nobody wants to work with someone who causes headaches and doesn't know what they're doing.
Title Companies & Real Estate Agents are as incentivized as you to get a deal closed because they only get paid when the deal closes. They'll absolutely work with you if you know what you're doing! This is the difference between being an amateur vs. being a pro. Amateurs have no idea what they're doing; Pros know exactly what they're doing.
This is why we call our flagship program Pro Wholesaler! ;) Be a PRO at all that you do and there will be people lining up to work with you for years. Here's a link all about our program if you want to see what some of the Nation's top wholesalers are doing: realestateskills.com/pro-wholesaler?el=ytoaccess

Tell them you are a real estate investor with multiple exit strategies such buy/hold, fix/flix, pass it on to a partner/another investor and wholesaling.
Thanks

@@Joseph-zj2mq This is what I am reading on Google:
All Craigslist postings are free, except for:
Job categories in the US and parts of CA -$10-75 (fee varies by area). Apartment rentals in Boston, Chicago, and NYC areas-$5. Commercial real estate in the US-$5. All for sale by-dealer categories in the US-$3-5.
Cheers! 🙏
