Speak with a real estate attorney about the legalities of wholesaling real estate in your specific area, the internet isn't the place to get legal advice.

They are really the only ones that can give you an accurate answer to your specific situation.

To clarify, I didn’t invest in a “fund,” but rather purchased a note for a specific fix-and-flip project.

I'll be specifically looking to start in the Cincinnati, Ohio and lean towards targeting buy and hold single family and potentially multi family as well.Any advice is appreciated and I look forward to connecting.
