New REI and hope to pursue flipping - Glad to be part of the BP community

[Ashley James]

Morning all,

I am a newcomer to Real Estate Investing out of the Central Virginia area. I have years of Key Account sales experience and want to get started into real estate on the side. I am going through the pre licensing courses/ process now.

My rough plan, as of current, is to begin flipping homes in desirable residential areas nearby and then move to flipping in the mountain/vacation setting. My husband is incredibly handy and loves reno’s (he will lose sleep from the excitement of finishing a project). If he was doing minimal renovating in this scenario (obviously no electrical wiring etc) is he required a contractors license?

I’m excited to learn and evolve from you all and I’ll glad accept any words of encouragement and helpful resources as we start out :)

Have a lovely day all!
