Today, Jeff gives us the cold truth regarding how to wholesale and how not to wholesale. He explains the various do’s and don’ts, the mistakes most investors make, and the possible penalties if you are caught doing things illegally. He also gives genuine tips when it comes to proper wholesaling as well as tips on what to do if someone from the local board gives you a call.
