Self-Rehabbing Flips: Can I Get By Without A Permit?

[Andrew Martin]

Hey everyone, so I am looking into acquiring my first flip here soon and I have a few questions regarding the self-rehab procedure involved. 

   Ok so I think it's obvious I am trying to maximize my profits here in the beginning by doing the work myself (along with a couple of knowledgeable guys). 

   Let's say for instance we're talking about a full rehab; can i complete this project without involving a GC to pull permits? Do you recommend just trying to slide under the radar? Is it possible for me to pull permits myself without a license? What exactly do you need to pull permits for? 

   I hope this is pretty clear on what I'm trying to figure out here guys and I appreciate any information you can help me with
