WHOLESALING REAL PROPERTY This bill provides that a buyer who enters into a contract with a seller to purchase real property engages in the act of wholesaling the real property when the buyer, after entering into the contract with the seller, assigns the buyer's equitable interest in the real proper t y to a subsequent purchaser for a higher price than the buyer paid for the real property.

This bill requires such disclosures to be in bold, large font print and included in the written agreement.
