Advice on wholesaling in Illinois...HELP

[Jaason White]

For a while I've toed around the idea of real estate investing but always came back to the same conclusion (Not enough cash to start) I was looking into wholesaling to help build up some funds and I was getting excited until (Like many things in Illinois) WHAM! road block. I saw that Illinois now requires that you have a Realtors License to even think about wholesaling. I thought to myself that i wasnt going to let this stop me, where there's a will there's way. Now where i need help is info on whether or not that law pertains to Illinois residents wholesaling in general (I.E out of state deals) or just performing wholesaling in the state. I was thinking of making deals in the St Louis Metro area since it seems like the market is strong in the Lou. If anyone knows if i can do deals in Missouri legally as a Illinois resident let me know im really excited to start my new journey.
