Remember HB 797?

[Brandy Johnson]

Everybody was screaming “wholesaling is dead in NC.”

Threads were on fire. DMs were in panic mode. Folks were rewriting their whole game plan.

HB 797 is still sitting right where a lot of bs goes to die.

Last official action: referred to the Senate Rules and Operations Committee on 5/1/2025. 

So yeah… wholesaling is safe for another day.

But here’s the part people miss.

The real lesson was never “will this pass tomorrow.”

The lesson was how fast people collapse when the rules might change.

Same thing we’re watching with AI.

One update drops and people start acting like their whole business got deleted.

One rumor hits and they stop taking action, “until it’s clear.”

Meanwhile, the operators keep moving. They just adjust.

Change is coming. Maybe HB 797. Maybe something else.

The point is not to predict it. The point is to be ready.

Preparation looks like this:

•Clean disclosures and clean contracts.

•A real buyer list, not a fantasy list.

•Exit strategies beyond one technique.

•Compliance posture, not “hope nobody notices.”

•Systems that survive scrutiny.

Because if your strategy only works in a wild west market, it’s not strategy. It’s luck.

So I’m asking the ones who were catastrophizing in 2025: Did you tighten up your operation?

Or did you just go back to business as usual until the next panic cycle?

Drop this in the comments: “I got tighter” or “I stayed the same.”
