I obviously dont know each state, but the only person Ive heard mention on BP that it was legal in their state was a Florida agent.I'm fairly confident that it's technically legal in Ohio but my understanding is the Division will scrutinize the heck out of you and require a ridiculous amount of disclosures to ensure you make it clear to the seller that you are going to make a whole bunch of money off of them.Like you literally need to have them sign a document that says something to the effect of my commission will be anything I can sell your house for over $100k.
