Getting a license

[Reed Starkey]

I am a licensed Realtor and I am looking into possibly getting my residential builders license.  I see there is a  60 hr course to take, but what else is involved?  Do I hold my own license, or do I need someone else to hold it like a Realtor must do with his broker?  Are there boards that are required to subscribe to?

I want to help a friend and possibly others as a project manager of sorts acting as the General Contractor.  I was going to manage the rehab without paying any of the subcontractors directly, but have been advised I would still need a license for this activity.

Thank you
