HB 468 Louisiana House · 2026 Regular Session

REAL ESTATE: Provides with respect to the wholesale of residential real properties

HB 468 regulates the "wholesaling" of residential real estate in Louisiana, directly affecting wholesalers and sellers. It requires wholesalers to provide written disclosures to sellers before contracts, including details about profit motives, the right to seek legal advice, and a 14-day cancellation period without penalty. The bill mandates clear cancellation notices in contracts, prohibits wholesalers from acting as advisors or imposing liens, and makes violations voidable with full deposit refunds. These provisions aim to increase transparency and protect sellers in transactions where wholesalers assign contractual rights for profit.
