Fix and Flip - Doing repairs myself

[Waleed Asad]

So, rather than hiring a contractor myself, what if I buy a house and do repairs on it myself. Ie laminate floors, maybe replace some drywall, paint, etc.

Do I need permits for this or a license?

I have lots of experience with fixing up houses so I know I'm able to do it.

What legal hurdles may I run into?

For example, in CA, you have to own a house for a year before you do repair work on it YOURSELF, meaning without a contractor.

Do all states have this requirement?
