Wholesaling is legal in Florida. Assignment of a real estate contract is permitted. You do not need a real estate license to wholesale your own equitable interest, but marketing the underlying property (rather than the contract) can trigger licensing requirements.
This is general information, not legal advice. Consult a licensed Florida real estate attorney for guidance specific to your situation.

Frequently Asked Questions — Florida Wholesaling
Do I need a real estate license to wholesale in Florida?
No. Florida law allows wholesalers to assign purchase contracts without a license, as long as they hold equitable interest through a signed agreement and are selling their contractual rights—not acting as an agent for the seller.
What are the best wholesale markets in Florida?
Tampa, Orlando, and Jacksonville offer the highest deal volume. South Florida (Miami/Fort Lauderdale) has larger assignment fees on successful deals but also higher acquisition costs.
