States allowing MLS marketing with contract but before ownership? (Land Flipping)

Hey everyone! I'm looking for insights on which states allow you to list a property on the MLS as soon as you have it under contract—but before actually owning it.

I know that some states have strict regulations around wholesaling and marketing equitable interest, while others allow it as long as you disclose your intent. For example, places like Illinois and Oklahoma have specific rules requiring a real estate license for certain types of marketing.

This specifically for flipping land using Transactional Funding.

If you’ve done this before, what states have you found to be friendly toward this approach? Any specific regulations or best practices to be aware of?

Would love to hear from experienced investors, agents, and wholesalers on what’s working in your market! Drop your thoughts below.
