Seeking investor friendly Sponsoring Broker in IL

[Melissa Bixby]

I am interested in using my broker's license for personal investment purposes, and am trying to find the best way to access the MLS and properties. I do not have an interest in working as a RE so I'm hoping there is another option to access properties other than what is out there to the public. I'm searching for foreclosed, short sales, etc. to purchase, fix up, and rent out. Any advice or guidance would be greatly appreciated!
