Can I wholesale in Iowa without a realtor license?
Hi there,
I want to wholesale in the state of Iowa. My question is: is it possible to wholesale/assign a contract in the state of Iowa without a realtor license?
Thank you,
Hailey

The key is to close on the deal yourself, and then resell. That is how you are completely protected. That being said, I know many who have assigned contracts. Lawyers wouldn't do it if it were illegal. It's a grey area.
