Nevada REI Wholesaling Overview

Nevada is a moderate-to-high risk state for REI wholesalers. The $50,000 bond is the highest upfront cost among states with telemarketing registration — it filters out casual operators. The 9 AM start time catches operators who set campaigns for 8 AM (legal federally but not in Nevada). Criminal penalties (category D felony) for pattern violations add a layer of personal risk beyond civil fines. The practical path: register, post bond, manual dial non-DNC numbers between 9 AM–9 PM, and maintain meticulous records.
