State Requirements

Real estate wholesaling is not a new concept, but its practice, regulation, and public perception have changed significantly in recent years. For real estate professionals navigating a market where wholesaling is becoming more popular and increasingly problematic, understanding its legal, ethical, and professional implications is more important than ever.

This four-hour course provides a straightforward examination of wholesaling: how it operates, when it crosses legal and ethical boundaries, and why it faces greater scrutiny from lawmakers and the public. You’ll examine how some investors use wholesaling as a legitimate and transparent strategy to build wealth, while others exploit it to bypass licensing requirements, mislead sellers and buyers, and disrupt housing stability, particularly in vulnerable communities.

Whether you are new to wholesaling, advising clients involved, or simply looking to avoid legal issues, this course is designed for you.

Course highlights include:

  • Differences between wholesaling and traditional real estate transactions
  • Pros and cons of wholesaling
  • State laws and licensing implications for wholesaling
  • Identifying red flags with wholesaling
  • Ethical pitfalls in wholesaling
  • Recognizing predatory patterns
  • When wholesaling becomes illegal
  • Collateral damage, legal fallout, and civil penalties
  • Wholesaling's impact on housing markets and housing inequity
  • Wholesaling and technology
  • Interactive activities, case studies, and scenarios to frame the content in everyday context
