📣 Attention Ohio Real-Estate Investors & Wholesalers!
Big change is coming with SB 155 — here’s what you need to know, and how you can leverage it with the right funding and strategy via AIIZ Funding.
⸻
✅ What SB 155 does
• The bill creates a new section in the Ohio Revised Code (5301.95) specifically focused on residential-real-estate wholesaling. 
• It requires that a wholesaler must provide a written disclosure to the property owner (seller) before entering into a contract that conveys an interest in residential real estate. 
• The disclosure must state, in bold (at least 12-point font):
• That the person is a wholesaler and does not represent the seller. 
• That the wholesaler intends to assign the contract to a third party for a profit. 
• That the seller may be receiving a below-market value offer and is advised to seek legal or real-estate professional advice. 
• If the seller has not signed this disclosure, the contract could be cancelled by the seller before closing. 
• Failure to provide the disclosure may be treated as an unfair or deceptive act under Ohio’s Consumer Sales Practices Act.

🧐 Why this matters for you
• If you’re wholesaling or plan to wholesale in Ohio, you must be compliant with the new rules (once SB 155 is enacted) or risk having your deals voided or challenged.
• For investors (including you working with AIIZ Funding), this means more transparency in the deal structure and fewer surprises on contracts.
• It also raises the baseline for deal legitimacy — which can mean less competition from players who were relying on loopholes, and therefore potential better deals for those playing clean.
• If you find a seller who was approached by a wholesaler without this disclosure, there might be an opportunity — either for remediation, renegotiation, or stepping in properly.

📊 What we at AIIZ Funding want you to do
• If you’re wholesaling, make sure your contracts in Ohio include the required disclosure before signing with the seller.
• If you’re investing, use this as a filter: look at deals where the seller has that disclosure (or ask for it) so you know the contract chain is solid.
• Use AIIZ Funding to get the capital you need to move quickly when compliant deals show up — whether fix-&-flip, buy-and-hold, or JV strategies.
• Stay ahead of the changes. Even if SB 155 hasn’t taken full effect yet, it’s time to operate with it in mind now — so you’re ready when it’s active.
