Using the wholesaling method with seller financing

Paul Lukowiak

I am needing to know that if I get a seller to agree to terms (owner financing) using a purchase and sale agreement, then assign that contract to a tenant buyer with my assignment fee, do I need to be licensed as an agent/broker?

*****same question with lease option agreement

No, but you'll likely still be on the hook when your tenant buyer fails.

once I assign my contract to the buyer, doesn't that release me from all the risk if me and the seller do our due diligence to find this buyer?

Not unless you get the seller to release you from liability.
