Yeah it can be done legally as long as your not participating in ILLEGAL activities. For instance, marketing a property that you don't own. It is also recommended that you have some type of transnational lender in case you need to close. As long as you can prove you had the means and (stated at this point cause who would know better) intent to close, the state will not bother you.
Most don't do that last part. Hence the warnings above and other issues. Although if you are doing a good job in the first place this wouldn't or rather shouldn't be relevant.
It's really a matter of education. Ensure you get a broad range of comments/information before being scared or gung-ho about wholesaling.
