Sure, @Aldrin Contreras , it is ok to wholesale without a real estate/broker license... in fact, you don't need a realtor to wholesale a property if you find a owner who will sale you his/her property without a middleman....It is when you are looking to wholesale REOs is when you have to "DEAL" with a realtor...Good luck...

If you have a realtor find properties for you, it'll likely be that you'll be paying close to market values for a property unless you get one that specializes on short sales and/or foreclosures.
