REI Wholesaling Telemarketing Compliance in Maryland
Real estate investor cold calling and SMS compliance in Maryland
Guide last reviewed: January 2024
Maryland REI Wholesaling Overview
Maryland is a moderate-risk state for REI wholesaling cold outreach. No mini-TCPA with a private right of action means your primary litigation risk comes from federal TCPA, not state law. However, the Maryland AG actively enforces telemarketing registration and DNC compliance. The practical path: register with the AG, scrub DNC lists religiously, use manual dialing for cold outreach, and save automated channels for contacts who have given explicit written consent. Maryland's lack of a private right of action does not mean lack of enforcement — the AG has the tools and uses them.
