Hi @Jarett Echevarria .
Florida has some of the most strict laws against contract assignment wholesaling. You can always put a property under contract, close on it, then resell it. That is not against the law.
My first deal was a live in flip. I bought an ugly condo, fixed it up while I lived in it, then sold it for 50% more than I paid for it. I lived in it for 4 years, so I paid $0 in capital gains. I like keeping my money in my pocket...
