Wholesaling
Are there problems in Wholesaling RE in Illinois ???
Hi Shirley. My wife was raised just up the road from you in Hazelcrest in the mid '60's. My how things have changed...To answer your question, it depends. 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.
