Legalities of wholesaling
OHIO & other states
As I read on forums and different blogs on the internet, I see people who are non-wholesalers deterring people from the wholesaling business saying it is either illegal or frowned upon ? Can someone tell me why this is ? Thank you !

As I have recently watched the video and continued reading, I’ve come to the conclusion that it is ILLEGAL to wholesale in Ohio due to never having intent to actually own the property , but rather to sell the contract to some other potential buyer ? ?
