If you are interested in getting started wholesaling properties, you may not be sure what state laws are concerning this kind of real estate transactions and you certainly don’t want to break any laws unknowingly.

Although every state is different, I assure you that wholesaling is legal everywhere. This is just business like any other and the free market system – buying low and selling high – nothing illegal about that.

If you are not a realtor, you are not considered a professional and you have less to worry about. Even though some realtors don’t know Jack – I know some friends who have taken Realtor tests in several different sates and passed without any studying. In most states you have to score only 70 to pass and get your license – a D grade when I was in school. So much for being professional.

Here is my philosophy about the legal aspect: do what is right and be brutally honest in everything you do – and you will have nothing to worry about. If you are still concerned about the legal aspects, a real estate closing attorney or a real estate specific attorney can point you in a right direction.

Again, the only people that are or should be worried about legalities are people who are trying to cheat people, in my opinion. As long as the purchase is an “As Is” purchase, you are fine. A buyer will not be able to come back on you. Don’t be dishonest about anything and don’t try to trick anybody in any kind of way. So do right, tell the truth, and you should have nothing to worry about.
