If you are not a licensed Realtor/Broker, many would say it is illegal, since for all intents and purposes, you are acting as a broker. I would tend to agree with that line of thinking. There has been tons of discussion about wholesaling on the site here. There is a recent thread that has been discussing how several states are cracking down on unlicensed wholesalers.
