Hiring Handyman instead of contractors in Arizona

[Ron Hollingsworth]

We are generating about 1.5 flips a month pretty regularly.  I am always looking for ways to cut cost and one of those ways is in the labor paid to contractors by hiring someone with the knowledge and experience to do most of the work, minus some of the specialty work like AC, granite slabs, etc and then paying them a salary.  I project this would cut my expenses by about $10,000 per flip.  In Arizona, anyone doing work more than $1,000 must be licensed contractor.  Has anyone figured out a way around this law?
