Should I get a GC license as an investor?
Hello,
It seems like there are no reliable General Contractors in my area (Miami/Fort Lauderdale). I have tried dozens of them and they are all unreliable and inconsistent at best and very expensive. I have asked other investors in the area and they all have the same issues with GCs
5 years ago i was having the same frustration trying to find a good realtor so i decided to become a realtor myself and it has paid great dividends so i thought it might be a good idea to get my GC license as well
What do you guys think?

Interesting! I don't see any harm in that, you'd then simply high sub contractors. Only fear would be that it takes you away from your primary roll of ensuring deal flow. Additionally depending on your funding source, some may frown on you acting as your on GC. I still see more pros than cons.
BE GREAT!
