Wholesaling as taught IE tie up with no ability to close and then assign is going to get regulated out of existence in most states its already happening and it is illegal today in Florida as well.But that all said. 

These factors can impact the ability to develop or renovate a property and the tax implications of owning a property.Zoning RegulationsZoning regulations are laws that dictate how land can be used within a particular area.

Some rules/procedures may differ from state to state, so it never hurts to have a contact in the different states you plan to be in.

@Jade Smith under your proposal, you would probably need an agent license to work with a broker.Hopefully, you have a copy of the regulations that allow your interpretation of California licensing requirements and didn't depend on someone's opinion:)

Once the title is clear of those pesky old liens, you'll be good to go.This is not legal advice, so speak with your attorney for actual procedural issues.Keep investing and moving forward!
