David Ward Are wholesalers unlicensed brokers?
14 November 2015 | 56 replies
I believe most states if you actually read the statute of what activities necessitate having a license most all of wholesaling would require a license in most state.. contract flipping what have you.Our state is on the war path against private lenders ... in Oregon you need an NMLS license or a broker to do your HML on any 1 to 4 unit regardless if its owner occ or not. there is no such thing as a commercial purpose unregulated loan like many states.So you have all the licensed HML turning in the bigger private guys who under cut their rates... they will watch at court house.. they will pull deeds of trust to see who the benies are then make complaints and the state will follow up and will issue cease and desists.
