Wholesaling in New York legality - attorney's please...

[Mark Choi]

Calling all NY attorneys who specializes in real estate for your advice. 

A little help please!

I'm NOT a licensed real estate agent.

I hope to be wholesaling my first deal before the end of July.

By wholesaling I mean:

1) obtain signed purchase agreement from a seller;

2) contact an investor and assign this agreement to this investor;

3) I receive an assignment contract fee from the investor;

4) the investor closes with the seller.

During my studies tonight, I stumbled upon this NY State law that gave me pause. I've been taught by over 20 educators/gurus/veterans (take your pick) that wholesaling is legal to do without a license. I cannot tell if the following is describing what my plans are or not. 

Hope I can continue with confidence.  Thanks in advance.

Investors can legally assign contracts to other investors in New York without the necessity of a broker's license.  Good luck Mark.
