In some cities, you can't do STR for multifamily or you can but only one unit.There also could be taxes, licensees, etc. with STR.

It's like everyone & their mom is a licensee haha.

If you just want to peruse the MLS, go onto Realtor.com for free and get the latest info on listings in your area (or nationwide, for that matter.)However, if you are serious about real estate investing, there is no better way to understand your market and find great deals, than by becoming a licensee and working it.

Then you factor in the cost of the MLS, maintaining your license, E & O insurance, etc.

Now Compass and NWMLS are heading to court.This stems from NWMLS requiring all licensees to enter their listing into the MLS in a timely manner.  

I personally believe that having to disclose and tread carefully makes wholesaling more difficult for a licensee than for a non licensee; yet many jurisdictions are now requiring a “wholesaler” to be licensed.  

Our state licensing department provides the list of licensees for free upon request. 

A licensee has infinite more liability than a lay person.
