Shaun Dewitt , I would say that a loose interpretation of contract law, DTPA, and the like could definitely make it illegal to enter into a contract that you knowingly can't perform on.It's one thing to say I'm going to try and wholesale this but if not I'll buy it and go from there, and another to go around putting a bunch houses under contract and then never closing on any of them; because you can't find a buyer.Unless the seller understands way up front that you're going to terminate if you can't find another buyer, and you have them sign off as such, it's perfectly reasonable that a group of people (sellers) could get together and ask the attorney general of a state to investigate fraud.
