I am fairly certain wholesalers that just tie up property stick it on craigs list or some other form of mass media with no intention of or capability of buying are indeed selling RE without a license and if they were turned in to the DRE's of their state would probably get a cease and desist letter.. or worse.I do know from what I have read on BP that OHIO is getting serious..
