what's the best way to find the ARV to do my numbers for a wholesale deal if i don't have access to the mls to run comps? 

Associations can levy special assessments and have deed restrictions that also interfere with typical note collections and enforcement.  

I believe the license is worth it's cost just for access to the MLS and the data on solds and comps.

A lot of you have emphasized how critical it is to have access to financing in order to reach your goals and it will only be possible by showing credibility to future investors. 

You need to understand what is the use of that property, topography, taxes related to that property and whether there is any kind of restrictions related to that.

Licensed realtors have access to a database that provides more detailed info on condo buildings.

Some benefits of getting your license are that you can:1) Get access to the MLS and new properties hitting the market before investors without their license2) When you sell the property you save on the sales commission you would normally pay your listing agentYou don't need a license though.

But the broker can talk other brokers on the team into sharing private listings and split commissions.I have been successful getting access to some deals with this strategy but the deals were never good enough to close.

How would shared access work?

Being 23 we don't have access to that kind of capital!
