Package Content:
Wholesaling Uncovered: Risks, Laws, and Real Estate Realities
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
Lead Awareness and Compliance
Lead hazards aren’t just a concern for homeowners—they’re also a big deal for real estate professionals. If you're listing a home built before 1978 or guiding buyers through disclosures, understanding the risks of lead exposure isn’t just helpful—it’s essential. Federal laws require specific disclosures and safety measures and skipping them can lead to hefty fines and legal trouble.
This course helps you recognize where lead hazards lurk, stay on top of your legal responsibilities, and follow safe practices help protect you, your clients, and your transactions. But beyond compliance, having a strong grasp of lead safety makes you a trusted advisor. When clients see that you take their health and safety seriously, it strengthens your reputation and sets you apart as a knowledgeable, reliable real estate professional. Ultimately, keeping people safe, reducing risk, and staying compliant aren’t just obligations—they’re smart business moves supporting long-term success.
Course highlights include:
- Common sources of lead in residential properties
- Health risks of lead exposure
- Community-based approaches to lead hazard prevention
- Review of federal lead disclosure laws
- Compliance with lead disclosure laws
- Consequences of non-compliance with disclosure requirements
- Mitigating lead hazards
- Lead-safe work practices for renovations and repairs
- EPA’s Renovation, Repair, and Painting Program
- Preventing lead hazards long-term
