Legal considerations for wholesaling in Washington
Washington's Distressed Property Conveyances Act imposes fiduciary duties on buyers of distressed homes and requires specific disclosures + a 5-day rescission period. Skip pre-foreclosure unless you're working with an attorney.
This is general guidance only, not legal advice. Consult a Washington-licensed real estate attorney before your first deal.
