Wholesaling without a license — state-by-state thread

This comes up constantly. Starting a thread so people can share what they know about their state. Not legal advice — always consult a real estate attorney before wholesaling.

Texas: Generally okay if you have equitable interest (under contract). Considered investor-friendly.

Florida: Some attorneys say recent changes require licensing for anyone regularly brokering. Interpretation varies widely.

Illinois: Law passed requiring a license for wholesalers assigning more than once per year. Enforcement has been inconsistent.

Arizona: Generally okay without a license if you're the actual contract buyer, not just a middleman.
