Chauncy Gray Wholesaling Properties in Rhode Island
20 October 2020 | 4 replies
@Chauncy Gray this is a legal question so you should really form a relationship with an attorney who mainly practices real estate and ask her/him this question.That said, I’m not aware of any such limitation existing at this time.I would recommend (as a layperson speaking generally, not someone giving legal advice), that folks who “wholesale” have a bond fide interest in purchasing, and ability to close on, every property that they sign a P&S contract on.My limited knowledge of other states is that wholesalers have gotten into trouble, and promoted legislation regulating their activities, when they put things under contract without the intention or ability to actually close on the properties.If that’s the case it’s not hard for someone to make the case that the “wholesaler” was really just connecting a buyer and seller and getting paid a commission - basically acting as an unlicensed real estate agent in violation of the laws regulating such activities.That’s also the reason that I avoid “co-wholesaling”, or deals where there are multiple wholesalers involved, like the plague.
