Episode notes

Wholesaling real estate may be banned nationwide within a few short years. After a new law was passed in South Carolina prohibiting the practice, other states started to follow their lead, making their own laws that limit or completely restrict wholesaling real estate. Why is this happening now, and if a nationwide wholesaling ban does get passed, are there loopholes for wholesalers to still make money assigning properties? South Carolina real estate attorney Gary Pickren is on the show to explain.

Gary is no stranger to wholesaling. He’s quick to tell you how crucial wholesaling has been to his business’s growth. But Gary isn’t trying to dance around the new laws and pretend that everything will be alright for real estate wholesalers. In fact, Gary believes that this new South Carolina law could change real estate wholesaling forever, and it may even be for the best.

We’ll describe the new South Carolina law and the legal verbiage that spells out the wholesaling ban. Gary even gives a completely legal way of getting around the new wholesaling law, but the rules MUST be followed. If you’re a wholesaler anywhere in the United States, this law directly affects you and your livelihood. Not staying up-to-date on this could, at best, cost you money or, at worst, land you behind bars.
