I'm in LA, and not North Dakota where someone will work at 10/hr and no complaints.Try to keep the discussion civil.

Seems everyone tries to circumvent real estate laws, that those are the only applicable laws in real estate.......absolutely not, you have the uniform commercial code, you have civil law and torts, advertising issues and fair dealing with the federal trade e commission, you have the securities and exchange commission in raising money, we have a string of consumer protection laws and all of this seems to be totally ignored by newbie wholesalers, not really addressing you Dio, but all of them on BP.A contract that is made to accomplish an illegal act is not a valid contract and that can be conspiracy as in conspiracy to commit fraud or some other criminal act!
