Doing work on your own flip... not allowed under Arizona law

[Joey Chrisman]

I have a fixer upper house that my LLC now owns and am in the process of getting plans together and starting the renovation on it. I would like to ideally sell the property when I am done with the property. Im trying to do a mix of using a general contractor and licensed contractors but also doing some of the stuff like landscaping, painting, and demo on my own to save some money. If your intent is to sell or rent the place in 1 year after the property is completed you must have licensed contractors do all of the work. Since I am not a licensed contractor this would not be allowed even for say painting the house. How ridiculous is this? Is this something that is even enforced if say you install the tile floors yourself? Essentially if you sell the house and then 1 year later a tile cracks or something and the buyer could come back and try to say you did work without a license and wants a remedy for the bad work. Is this really something to be concerned about?

Wow.

Never saw that in any states we work in. Insurance absolutely but not needing licenses.
