Most of what goes on in wholesaling IE not buying the property just trying to tie it up and assign a contract in my mind and I think most states if taken to the mat is acting as a re agent without a license.. and some states are starting to crack down on the activity as they get complaints of the many newbie or not so honest folks taking advantage of the public.I make pretty large % of my income helping fix and flippers do just that come into title on the properties so they don't have these issues.

I am not a wholesaler and don't plan on being one....I just occasionally come across great deals and this is the first time I can't take advantage of it myself.  

They have the advantage of time on their side, but we have experience that will save on some of the mistakes and help us make smarter decisions.

As if people have the right to be stupid, get ripped or rip off others outsmarting the other guy.Mo. is not what I'd call overly consumer friendly, there is a political view of big business requiring the advantages over competition and to seek business from the public to include the ignorant or disadvantaged, free enterprise and the only hooks being set by violations or laws or in ethical areas, through complaints.Municipalities have the ability to require service industry providers or professions to demonstrate education or knowledge.
