Episode 26: What is the Multiple Listing Service and How to Use it for a Steady Stream of Deeply Discounted Deals

Jim Huntzicker has been a real estate investor in Northern Illinois since 2007, and is also a licensed real estate agent (IL) and has been since 2006. He started out as an aggressive new agent helping investors buy and sell their rehab properties and quickly realized he was on the wrong side of that transaction. That is when he decided to become a real estate investor and use all he had learned to be successful himself.

These days his primary focus as an investor is residential redevelopment (aka rehabbing) and teaching others about how to use the Multiple Listing Service (MLS). Jim buys, renovates and sells residential properties in Chicago and the suburbs. Since starting in the real estate business he have been involved in over 450 transactions. His real estate investing company is Yellow Star Properties, LLC and they do 10-14 rehabs at any one time.

In 2011 Jim started coaching for a national real estate investing education company. He started his own true one-on-one coaching group known now as Real Estate Investor Academy®. Real Estate Investor Academy® is where Jim teaches real estate investors how to take their business to a whole new level.

In 2014 he created MLS Domination®. MLS Domination which is an online course that teaches you how to use the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) to get a steady predictable stream of deeply discounted deals (and income) for your real estate investing business.
