• Equitable interest (owning the contract before assignment) is required in most California wholesale deals
• Assignment fees may be treated as earned commissions by the DRE - check with your broker
• Merge permits wholesale transactions with proper documentation
• California's AB 1837 and existing DRE guidelines apply to agent-wholesalers
