Quote from @Sherry McQuage:

In my part of NC, the MLSs are writing rules to ban wholesalers from listing a property with an agent.  I think wholesaling started out as someone exploiting a "blind hole" in the existing real estate process....eventually, enough people felt they got scammed and made some noise.

The handful number of deals I listed from a wholesaler were enough to convince me that I don't want to list a property brought by a wholesaler...they don't yet own the property, and they try to make money off the ignorance of the "owner of record".  With the expansive reach of online real estate data, more people can see more details about a property. 

At one time, wholesaling probably brought some value to some people.  Now, I think you need to figure out a different way to make money.  The market has changed; the amount of information available online has exploded.  "Improvise, Adapt, Overcome" has never been more advisable.

Best to you, and I hope this opinion helps in some way.  Maybe look around and see what "stumbling block" others are having and create a solution for that.  


 thank you very much, and yes your opinion helps very much since I am able to understand your view about it. I was really wanting to get opinions about it and I always love to see how people think in their ways and views about a topic

Quote from @Omar Mares:

Wholesaling doesn't require a license because one doesn't exist. In fact, most states probably consider wholesaling an illegal activity because wholesalers are not licensed to sign contracts on behalf of others, yet that's exactly what they do.

It's very difficult to catch someone in the act of wholesaling, particularly if all parties agree to it and there are no complaints. That's how they get away with it.



 So would you recommend I try whole sale? Or why is it even a part of real estate if it is considered illegal, I would like to get into real estate to one day fix and flip but I know that takes a lot of money that is why I am interested in whole sale since it is a way to make a good amount of money

Hello i had a question about having a real estate license. so I have been searching for answers and I get many different ones, I have asked a few different people asking If I really do need a real estate license to start wholesale or if it is just a need if I want to be an agent. I am located in Oklahoma and I would very much appreciate it if anyone who is from here or has communications with someone from Oklahoma if they could help me out or give me more information about it.

Quote from @Jonathan Greene:

If anyone hops on a call with you from that they are going to try to sell you a wholesale coaching program or something. Do some research here in the forums, figure out a strong question to ask, and that will serve you better than just asking anyone to hop on a call.


 hello Jonathan and thank you for responding, what best research topic would you recommend I can best get into and learn the most from I have joined FaceBook pages for local meetups since I know that always helps to learn more

hello and good afternoon, I would like to talk about the beginning of real estate and if anyone would like to hop on call and give me information I am also willing to do that. I would like to get all the knowledge I can and see in many different perspective on how you started and any tips that I could use. Also if there is anyone in Oklahoma who would be willing to give me more knowledge since I am located in Oklahoma I would love to work together and know the rules that Oklahoma applies to wholesaling since that is my starting point to get into real estate. Thank you all

@Omar Mares Welcome to BiggerPockets. Let me know if I can help you in your real estate journey.


 hello Brian and good afternoon, at this moment I am currently working on the best way I can do my double closing and double checking if it is safe to do wholesaling in Oklahoma since some require license.
