become Licensed Gen Con. or not to help with rehabbing

[Scott C.]

I'm trying to get feedback on whether becoming a licensed General Contractor would help me have a better chance of securing a private loan from an investor to rehab houses. I'm not planning on doing much of the renovation myself, but I don't have alot of experience in construction or real estate so I think alot of potential investors would be reluctant to loan me money right now. Private Lenders, what kind of resume do you look for from new (and young) investors before you loan money?
