I'm just starting out in my real estate investing business, and have most of my marketing set up. I'm starting to generate leads, most of which are not the type of sellers I'm looking for. I'm willing to trade these leads in order to become someone's "assistant" so that I can get MLS access. Abor allows for a "non-licensed assistant" membership. I mostly need the MLS to run comps.

The reason you likely haven't received any responses to your post is because the activities of a "non-licensed assistant" must be VERY closely regulated by the licensed member under which you would get MLS access. If you are actively generating leads, this will conflict with the duty and responsibilities of the license holder. Sounds like you need to invest the time and get a license for what you are doing.
There are benefits to NOT having a license so don't get one if you don't absolutely have to. Perhaps you can find a new licensee who has access that will partner with you creating a win/win for both.

One of my partners is an agent and I really want to be able to use his MLS while he's unavailable to pull comps. If I became his assistant would that be legal?
