Legal considerations for wholesaling in Ohio
Ohio law doesn't require a license for wholesalers, but you must disclose you're assigning equitable interest (not selling the property itself). Use 'and/or assigns' in the buyer field and close within your inspection window.
This is general guidance only, not legal advice. Consult a Ohio-licensed real estate attorney before your first deal.
